395-404

  • He (David) said, “I was overpowered by Thee, drunken with Thee: my hand (power) was tied up by Thy hand. 395
  • Was not every one that was overpowered by the King the object of (His) mercy? Was not he (excused on the ground that) ‘The overpowered is like the non-existent’?”
  • He (God) said, “This overpowered man is that non-existent one who is only relatively non-existent. Have sure faith!
  • Such a non-existent one who hath gone from himself (become selfless) is the best of beings, and the great (one among them).
  • He hath passed away (faná) in relation to (the passing away of his attributes in) the Divine attributes, (but) in passing away (from selfhood) he really hath the life everlasting (baqá).
  • All spirits are under his governance; all bodies too are in his control. 400
  • He that is overpowered (overwhelmed) in Our grace is not compelled; nay, he is one who freely chooses devotion (to Us).”
  • In sooth the end of free-will is that his free-will should be lost here.
  • The free agent would feel no savour (spiritual delight) if at last he did not become entirely purged of egoism.
  • If there is delicious food and drink in the world, (yet) his pleasure (in them) is (only) a branch of (derived from) the extinction of (worldly) pleasure.
