And with what appeared from me, every insightful person is certain that the matter is not in my hand, but in your hand, and the reins of choice were not in my hand, but rather in your hand and your power. Nevertheless, my God, the people of your kingdom have gathered against me, and every now and then come down with what frightens you about the truths of your chosen ones and your trustees. Therefore, I ask You, O my God, in Your name, by which You have guided the lovers to the fullness of Your grace and kindness, and have attracted those longing for the pleasure of Your nearness and meeting with You, to open the eyes of Your creation so that they may witness in this manifestation the emergence of the glory of Your individuality and the rising of the lights of Your face and Your beauty. Then purify them, O my God, from suspicions and delusions, so that they may smell the scents of sanctification from the shirt of Your advent and command. Perhaps they do not want me to prevent themselves from the whiffs of the affairs of Your Mercy in the days of the emergence of Yourself and the beginning of Your affair, and they do not commit what You make themselves worthy of the manifestations of Your oppression and anger.
Say: O heedless one, if you hear from this servant, then do what we remind you of so that you will be among the winners! Purify yourself from anything other than God, then say: “In the name of God, by God, and wash with water.” And after you have finished, say: “O my God and my beloved, just as you have cleansed my outward appearance from this water, purify my heart and my heart from the soul and passion so that I may know You and be separated from the worlds.” “Then place [411] your face on the dust in submission to God, Lord of lords, say: “Oh my God and my Master, I ask you in your name by which the earthquake appeared in the tribes of the earth and the sky and the noise rose up among the crowds of creation and the souls of the doubters and the facts of the heedless were disturbed, that you forgive me My actions, which the eye of creativity has not witnessed, resembled it. By your honor, O my beloved, I have come to you with a sin that is not equivalent to the sins of those who were created by your wonderful, creative saying.
