As for what taste knowledge gives, it is that it is apparent from the point of view of what is inside, and inside is from the same as what is apparent, and the first to specify what is last, and likewise the saying in the last, an izar from the same as what is a robe, and a robe from the same as what is an izar, is never characterized by two different proportions, as The mind determines it and makes sense of it in terms of what is the subject of thought. This is why Abu Saeed Al-Kharraz said, “When it was said to him, ‘How did you know God?’ He said by combining the two opposites. Then he recited, ‘He is the first and the last, and the apparent and the hidden. ’”
