Make up for their hearts when they lost them from watching the Messenger, may God bless him and grant him peace, and he was good for them, for they do not know how their condition was when watching, whether envy or being overpowered by them, then God suffices the believers in fighting, and God is strong, so Mighty is the image of God, the Mighty of God. Peace be upon her soul and her speaking soul. Are you one of her strengths or one of her strengths? And what are you from her strengths? Is her sight, hearing, smelling, touching, or tasting? This image is like the sensual powers of the human being, rather of the animal. This detracts us from the status of the spiritual forces. Do not think that, rather, it is the most complete of the strong, because it has the name Al-Wahhab, because it is the one who bestows on the spiritual forces what they act in and what their scientific life has in terms of the power of imagination, thought, preservation, perception and illusion. Mind and all of that are from the materials of these sensory powers God Almighty said regarding the one whom he loved among his servants, I was his hearing with which he hears and his sight with which he sees He mentioned the tangible form and what he mentioned from the spiritual powers, and he does not lower himself his status because his status is a status due to lack of senses, and the truth does not descend the status of one who lacks other than him and the senses are deprived of God and not to anyone else, so he descended to those who are in need of him, he did not associate anyone with him, so he gave it to the rich, so it is taken from her and from her, nor It takes it from the rest of the powers except from God, so know the honor and worth of the senses and that he is the essence of the truth. For this reason, the formation of the Hereafter cannot be completed without the presence of the senses and the senses, because it does not complete except with the truth. Seeing, speaking, living, knowing, able, willing, and these are all characteristics that have an impact on the senses, and the person senses from himself the rise of this powerful force in him. The Almighty did not describe Himself as being wise, thinking, or imaginative, and what remains for him of the spiritual powers except what the senses share in it, which is the preserver and the photographer, for the sense has an effect on me. Memorizing and photographing, and if it were not for participation, the truth would not describe itself with them. He is the preserver, the photographer, for these are two qualities, spiritual and sensory, so be aware of what we have warned you about, lest your heart be broken when I brought you down to the status of sensory powers due to the lowness of sense and honor of the mind, so I taught you that honor is all in sense and that you are ignorant of your matter And your destiny, if you knew yourself, you would know your Lord, just as your Lord taught you, and the knowledge of the world is his knowledge of himself, and you are his form. He said: He who knows himself knows his Lord If the matter was in the knowledge of the truth about the world, he taught him himself, and this is similar to what the Most High said: We will show them Our signs in the horizons and in themselves. O my guardian, how kind the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, to his nation It is attributed to us those who deny what we have referred to in this matter from the blind who know the outward appearance of the worldly life and they are unaware of the hereafter and they are unaware. By God, had it not been for this saying, we would have judged them blindness in the outward appearance of God in the life of this world and in the hereafter, as He judged them by not hearing His meaning in the hereafter. You will be like those who said, We have heard, while they do not hear, even though they have heard, and they are denied hearing. And this is how these people know the outward appearance of life by what their senses perceive from tangible matters only because The truth, the Most High, is not their hearing or their sight, so let us mention what this house contains of science, God willing, for it is the knowledge of the thirst of the world that does not accept irrigation from the knowledge of God and in it there is the knowledge of the basis of this knowledge that this thirst gave him to the presence of the gathering in which the eye of the division and in it is the knowledge of what happens by remembrance Is he the knowledge of what he forgot or something like it, not his eye due to a suspicion in the image, for he was aware of something and then he forgot it when his upbringing gave him, so the image of his knowledge of that known was not preserved for him, then he mentioned it after that, so is what he saw in his remembrance is the same as what he forgot or like, for time has differed over him with the likeness of time Some of them together, then you know that yesterday s eye is not the eye of today or the eye of tomorrow, with its resemblance to it in the form. If he remembers, it was an eye |
