Let the nominative pronoun be God, for what is given is the divine name by which the servant is called in his creation, or the name of the servant, which is the basis for divine closeness, for the servant is not characterized by closeness to God except by his name. God said to Abu Yazid, “Come closer to me by what I do not have.” He said O Lord, and what is not Yours, he said, humiliation and lack. The reason for this is that the origin of the servant is that he must be caused, and the cause is his for his own sake. And every cause is poor and humiliated, without a doubt, there is no hope of cure for this ailment, so closeness to God is an original intrinsic closeness.
