Page 390 - from Volume Three (Display Image)He knows his Lord as well. He who bears witness to himself bears witness to his Lord, so he moves from certainty of knowledge to certainty of an eye. If he is returned to his grave, he is returned to true certainty, from certainty of the eye, not to certainty of knowledge. From here, man knows the distinction of truth by telling him the truth about the truth of certainty, the eye of certainty, and the knowledge of certainty. Things did not confuse him, and he knew that the news did not disbelieve him. So whoever knew God in this way, he knew and learned the wisdom of the formation of the substance in shells about water that was fermented in brine salt, so his body and its salt were his nature. That is why the rule of nature appeared on his shell. And upon God is the direction of the path The Fourteenth Wasl from the Treasury of GoodnessHe knocks the ears and gives enjoyment and combines the bottom and the juvenile because what is meant by the world is the perfect man. From the world was also man, the animal that resembles the perfect in natural origin. And the facts that man collected were scattered in the world, so the truth called them from all the world, so they gathered, and one of their association was man, who is their treasury, so the faces of the world were spent on This human treasury to see what appeared from the call of the truth with all these facts, it saw an image upright, straight, moving with definite directions, and no one in the world saw such a human image. The saying of the Messenger of God, may God s prayers and peace be upon him, and sometimes the king is like a man to me So souls are not formed except in what they know of images, and they do not know anything of them except through witnesses. So souls were visualized in every form in the world except in the form of man before the creation of man. For the thinking power, the perception of spirits is one of the attributes of the psychic spirits, not the intangible, not because of the pictorial power that they have, except that even if it has a subjective perception, it is not imagined except in what it perceived from the forms of the natural world. Except for the soul, the mind, and the angels who dominate this world and the hereafter and above nature, they do not witness the images of the world, even if some of them are like the total soul. As for her work, it is attributed to her work, as it is attributed to the sun, the whitening of the flat and the blackening of the face of the fuller, and as it is attributed to fire, heating and burning, so it is said that the sun has whitened such and such and the sun has shown such and such. The fire has softened like this, ripened like this, and heated up like this. This is how the matter is in the world if you are of pulp and prudence, and God is All-Knowing of all things, and over all things is Able to do all things. That is why it is manifested in every form. Existence from the existence of a difference to the existence of a plurality, then the situation changed from a separation to a meeting, and the world changed the situation from non-existence to existence. I am not the spur of existence *** except for my being of existence There is no order based on the rule of *** than the non-determining of my existence I have nothing in the book like *** to taste more deliciousness That is why I specialize in prostration *** Be and be composed for prostration Prostrate to me every universe *** except the one who said with ingratitude And when the solid was dissolved, the images changed, so the name changed, and the ruling changed, and when the liquid froze, the image changed, the name changed, and the ruling changed. So the laws were revealed to address objects with what they are of images, conditions and names. The forbidden and the hated are strange calamities in his existence, and that is what he associated with the pure, royal and non-pure satanic spirits. And he is suspicious, for he is for the one who answered, and it is God s duty to clarify what is wrong from what is right, and the point of the matter is that God has a good return |
