[ It is not good to love others ]

(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


FUTMAK.COM الفتوحات المكية: الصفحة 426 من الجزء Four

And from that, it is not good to love others. He said: The lover does not love anything other than himself except himself. He does not love others, and love for others is never valid, because loving others is what is good in it. If there is good in it, it returns to the lover, then he loves himself because he loves returning that good to him. Then you will know that That Other, from its reality, is to have an existence that is the same as this Other, and the beloved can never be anything other than non-existent, either in an existing or not in an existing, for the existing is impossible for it to be loved for its own sake, but rather it is loved for a nihilistic reason. This beloved non-existent is dependent on the lover because of his love for him and his attachment to that beloved, so he remains connected to him and the connection of imagination until he enters the senses. This is the same as in the created thing and in the true creation.
