[ Man is a small world ]Just as man is a small world by way of the body, so he is also despicable by the way of occurrence and deification is valid for him because he is God s vicegerent in the world and the world is subservient to his lords, just as man is his subservient to God Almighty. In the case, not in knowledge, for every sect knows its opposite, so man is nothing but the believer and the unbeliever.
