Line 1: Line 1:
However, after listening to the words of God and having tasted what he wanted, no one witnessed stillness and resolution in himself. And a few days passed for him, and at each time his longing increased and his passion for God, his Creator, intensified, until he appeared at dawn one day and swept the courtyard of the house with his turban and returned and took a knife and avoided the worshipers and left the city until the shore came to the shore. He stood on the way to the house, taking his beard with one hand and cutting his throat with another hand, for the love of God, the Almighty, the Dominant, the Subsisting. So a noise arose among the people and a shout rose from all souls, and a great many people gathered around him[370], and they saw that the knife was in his hand and he placed his hand on his chest, so the whole existence was baffled by that, then the people of the Most High, then the people of the cities of pride, then the people of The kingdom of names and the might of survival. And all of them prayed for him, said Allahu Akbar on his face, descended upon him, circumambulated around him, and inhaled the scents of his love. And if I remember what appeared on that day, you will not accept it and you will not be able to know, and God is witness to what I say.
Self-sacrifice, soul-sacrifice, secret-sacrifice, appearance-sacrifice, inner-sacrifice, king and kingdom-sacrifice[374], power and Godhead-sacrifice, al-Azhar, al-Jaqut-sacrifice, al-Zahoor and al-Nasut sacrifice, and our creation in the kingdoms of the past is sacrifice, because - spirit of sacrifice - We do not move the cuttings except in this divine mention, and in this appearance of the invisible, and in this of the exalted, the exalted, and in this shining sun, and in this command of the visible, the most exalted. Think about what that point of God's existence and beauty says! He says: O Lord, I have not willed that there should remain on this tree a branch, a leaf, and a fruit that does not prostrate to him on the day of his appearance and does not glorify you with that manifestation of the appearance of what is worthy of the appearance of the highest. He and the poison in his stomach. And he says: If you, O my Lord, see on me a branch, a leaf, and a fruit that does not prostrate to him on the day of his appearance, then cut him off, O Lord, from this tree! It is true that he was not from me and does not refer to me.
