Page 104 - from Volume Two (Display Image)The most complete manifestations and the scholars differed as to whether it is correct for there to be two persons and upwards from him in existence, or there should be only one person. [ The perfect human being is consumed in the truth and the truth is consumed in it ]Rather, he called it a garment because it is derived from the limited defect, which is perdition, because it is completely exhausted in the truth, so that no eye appears to him with the appearance of divine emotions from him, so he does not find in himself a reality by which he ascribes any of those emotions to him, so it is all true and it is His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, and make me a light That is, it appears in everything and does not appear in anything, and the truth may be consumed in it, so nothing is attributed to the truth by its existence. I am the cloak, I am the secret through which the darkness of the universe appeared, when I made it light The wearer is the one who perishes with this cloak, so see who the wearer is, then judge him that he is lost in it, and you will find the truth of what we have mentioned. in it by his appearance that in that are signs for people who understand (Question one hundred seven) What is arrogance? The answer is what has appeared about the claims of creation in the presence of the Lordship. Who am I on the layers of those who say that arrogance is a condition of the hearts in terms of what is known to whom pride should be attributed to, for the truth is known to everyone who exists, and knowledge follows pride. He who has nothing in his heart that necessitates that, if pride was an attribute of the Self, then the Self would be a composite. [ Arrogance is a veil between the servant and the truth ]And knowledge is what is described by the scholar, not the known. Likewise, arrogance is described by one who is described with knowledge, by whom pride has a trace in the heart of this person. For this reason, pride has been mentioned in my cloak. It is a veil between the servant and the truth. Arrogance is added except to the one who wears it, for it is an amazing state, as well as greatness, for the truth is what its attribute is neither intrinsic nor intangible. It remains only if it is an attribute of the manifested to him, which is the universe, or a state of intellect between the manifested and the manifested to him that does not characterize the manifested to him, because worship corresponds to arrogance and its opposite, and it is impossible for it to establish itself between them. In terms of what that knowledge leads to in terms of the existence of these lineages in taste and drinking, as you say in the analogy and parable, a bright blackness and good knowledge. same m n greatness and greatness (Question one hundred and eight) What is the king's crown? The answer is the crown of the king, the sign of the king, and the coronation of the Sultanate Book is the line of the Sultan in it, and existence is a numbered book witnessed by those who are close to it and unknown to those who are not close to it. [ The perfect man is the crown of the king ]So the perfect human being, who indicates himself from the beginning of the first intuition to his Lord, is the crown of the king, and there is nothing but the perfect human being, and he is His saying, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, that God created Adam in his image He is the First, the Last, the Outward and the Inward, and the Divine perfection does not appear except in the compound, for it includes the simple and does not include the compound simple. Bodies, and that is not the case for other creatures besides Him, and for this reason He was singled out for the knowledge of all names and the plural of words, and God did not teach us that anyone other than Him gave this except to the perfect man and not above man. |
