Page 92 - from Volume One (Display Image)As it is in itself, if it is not impossible to attain it, and as for what it is impossible to attain, then knowledge of it is not attaining it, as the friend said. His generosity and endowment, as those who know him, the people of the witnesses, know him, not from the strength of the mind from the point of view of it Tammim [Knowing God through the Universe]And since it has been proven that knowledge of a matter can only be achieved by knowledge that has preceded this knowledge of another matter, there is an appropriateness between the two known, and it has been proven that there is no appropriateness between God Almighty and His creation in terms of the appropriateness between things, which is the appropriateness of gender, gender, or person. An advanced knowledge of something, so we realize by it the same truth, because of the occasion between them. For example, we learned the nature of the spheres, which is a fifth nature, which we did not know at all, had it not been for what preceded. From the point of view of the upper movement in the ether and the air, and the lower that in water and earth, and the occasion between the spheres and the essential mothers, which is a genus inclusive of all and quality, it is a species just as this is a species for one sex and so is the personality. One of these aspects is appropriate, and he is never known by a previous knowledge of something else, as some of them claim from the witness to the absent with knowledge, will, speech, and so on, then he sanctifies him after what he carried on himself and measured him with. It results according to the known and is separated in itself according to the separation of the known from others, and the thing by which the known is separated, either it is a subject like the mind in terms of its essence and like the soul, or it is a subject in terms of its nature like heat and burning for fire, just as the mind is separated from the soul in terms of its essentiality, so fire is separated from other. With what we have mentioned, or it is separated from it by itself, but by what is assumed in it, either in the case, such as the sitting and the writing of the writer, or in the form, such as the blackness of black and the whiteness of the white. Either from the point of view of his essence, nature, condition, or form, and the mind does not perceive something in which these things do not exist at all, and these things do not exist in God Almighty, so the mind does not know it at all in terms of looking and searching, and how the mind knows it in terms of its consideration and proof on which sense or necessity is based, or Experience and the Creator, the Most High, is not aware of these principles to which the mind refers in its proof, and then the existential proof is valid for him. And he saw the ignorance of each one of them about his doer because he knows that God Almighty never knows evidence but knows that it exists and that the world is in need of it in a self-neglected need, with no escape from it at all. In the verses mentioned in monotheism from the Mighty Book with which he united himself, no one knows anything about himself. So look at what he described himself and ask God Almighty to understand you that, then you will stand a divine knowledge to which no intellect can reach with his thought, and I will quote from these verses in the section that follows this section A simple thing, and God grants us understanding about it, Amen, and makes us among the worlds who understand His verses The third chapter on transcendence of the Almighty s truth from what lies in words.Which was called by Him, Glory be to Him, in His Book and on the tongue of His Messenger, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, from analogy and embodiment . Organize in the eyes of the servant to his Lord *** in the sanctity of hands and his honor And above it from tools that came *** that are attached to the qualifier and its likeness An indication that definitely controls *** the status of a slave and his mention And the validity of science and its proof *** and the hypothesis and camouflage of it [ All information was carried by the first mind ]Know, may God help you, that all information above and below is carried by the intellect that takes from God Almighty without an intermediary, so nothing is hidden from Him. |
