of rights, which are only the works He charged them with.
The veil may also be lowered for fear of the eye’s penetration and striking. This includes lowering veils because of the Face’s glories that burn possible things’ entities. Some people, however, lack that standing in knowledge of God and do not know that God has a self-disclosure within every breath, not upon the first self-disclosure’s form.
Lacking this perception, one may keep a self-disclosure company, continually witnessing it, while nature seeks him through its reality, and weariness overtakes him. Weariness within this station is disrespect toward the divine Presence. They are “in confusion concerning a new creation” [50:15] with the breaths, imagining the affair has not changed. The veil is lowered because of weariness leading to disrespect, since God deprived them of knowledge of their selves and God.
They imagine they are themselves within every breath. They are themselves in respect of their substance, not in respect of what describes them. Do not say the affair is otherwise. This is among the divine secrets whose perception God veiled from many people of God possessing openings of unveiling. How, then, is it for others? Veiling is indispensable since you are indispensable. Understand. “God speaks the truth and guides the way” [33:4].
