Praise be sanctified from remembrance and listening is fitting and due to the Owner of Names, who has illuminated the world of humanity with the sun of the sky of knowledge and adorned the heaven of wisdom with the stars of vision. The world of knowledge, next to a drop from the ocean of His wisdom, perceives itself as ignorant, mute, and dumb, and the world of vision, in the presence of the manifestation of the point of His Book, sees itself as blind and deaf. At the emergence of His will, He does what He wishes, astonished and amazed; and upon the display of His power, He decrees what He desires, stunned and cast down. The arena of meanings is shaken by the motion of the Highest Pen, and the kingdom of gnosis before the rays of the lights of His Sun of Explanation is submissive and humble. The breeze of His garment has refreshed and enlivened the gardens of the hearts of lovers, and the fragrance of His benevolence has perfumed the realms of the soul. By one mention of Him, the heaven of knowledge is elevated, and by one call of His, the withered world is rejuvenated. What audacity it is for a mortal servant to speak in this station, and what loss it is to consider oneself among the living—we are dead, fallen in the annihilation of love and intoxicated until what generosity the Kawthar of Explanation will bestow, either returning the mortal frame to nothingness or granting everlasting life. The matter is in His hands; He gives and withholds, and He is the Commander, the Ruler, the Observer, the Witness, the All-Knowing.
