Page 219 - from Volume Three (Display Image)Then there is nothing but silence and the truth speaks *** and then there is only God, there is no other than the Creator So we witness its formation in our witnesses *** It is evidenced in existence by the facts Whoever wills, let him believe, and whoever wills, let him say *** contrary to what we have said, and God is truthful Connected restriction is an adjective that intellects and revelation add to possibilitiesReasons limit it to it and add absoluteness to the truth, and I did not know that the release is a restriction, for the restriction is its origin and its cause is discrimination so that the facts are not mixed up. In the time of merit, and for this reason he called himself the patient, so what then is a release in which there is no restriction, because the limiting one who is the universe is distinguished from its release by limiting it. So his restriction is his release from our bonds *** then what is then a release is without restriction Whoever knows things, he says our words *** So go back to a beginning and a beginning to a repetition So beware the existence of deception if you are a believer *** It is deception by deception, and from its plot is my cunning He has the power of cunning that you do not reject *** the strength of his servant who is described with knowledge and hands Wasl distress is an epithet of my God and my beingMusa said, Strength with him crib and recite in the presence of Abu Yazid. Indeed, your Lord s tyranny is severe. He said, My tyranny is more severe, and that is because the thirst of the servant is devoid of cosmic mercy, and God s tyranny is not like that. He was merciful to himself with that oppression, but he does not know, and God is All-Knowing of everything, for He is All-Knowing that His mercy encompasses everything and expands His tyranny and the tyranny of the universe. Abu Yazid s tyranny of his Lord is greater than his tyranny, and he said, My tyranny is more severe, because in it is the tyranny of my Lord, and what is in the tyranny of my Lord with His servants is tyranny. God saves him from the pain that is standing with the tormentor while he is in the veil from God, and the tormentor has no witnesses except for the causes, so he oppresses the servant by watching the causes from being very secure because he is being tormented, so distress demands others and this is inevitable and no one can deny it. Especially if he knows that he is able to remove the cause Severity does not have an independent ruling *** without it appearing to the person s eye as a shadow When he sees him, he will be dazzled by that shadow about which he became angry He does not go away from his intensity *** If he is absent from him, he moves arrival of submission when the truth is manifested and spoken with is praiseworthyAnd what is other than this is blameworthy, and the slander is attached to the one who appears to him, except for the one who sees the truth in all things from the divine aspect that they have, but on a verified scale that does not exceed it, for God has set a scale for him with us on earth. In everything, the Almighty does not want to treat him in the same way in everything. Rather, he praises Him in the places where the praisers ask Him, accepts Him, and turns away from Him in the places in which He asks Him to turn away from Him. He has nothing but knowledge of the lawful divine scale, so whoever knows him, stands by him and behaves according to the manners of God with which He disciplined His Messengers, he has won and attained the degree of knowledge of God. Their hearts are broken, those with infirmities in secret, and he is among the arrogant tyrants, outwardly visible to his eyes, and for the emergence of a stronger judgment, and he, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, was keen on people to believe in the oneness of God and the removal of the blindness that they were upon. n |
