The answer: The people of the path use the word “spirit” in different meanings, and they say: “So and so has a spirit,” meaning a divine command that gives life to whoever performs it, meaning his heart. They use the word “spirit” to refer to the one about whom the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, was asked, and they use “spirit” and they mean by it. The spirit that is breathed into when creation is perfected and upon which the path turns is the spirit that the people of God find when they turn to Him with concern and worship. Most of the people often ask about it, so their saying is, “What is the beginning of the spirit,” that is, what is the beginning of its occurrence in the heart of the knower .
