Line 1: Line 1:
And then we address the one who slandered God and objected to him and sent fiery papers to the headquarters of Jerusalem and mentioned in them what the livers of the pure and the close were burned for. Perhaps he will wake up from the sleep of heedlessness and head towards Jerusalem, the abode of God, the Powerful, the Mighty, the All-Knowing. And if he had committed a sin heavier than the weight of the heavens and the earth, but when the seas of virtue rippled in those days, if he repented and returned, perhaps God would forgive him with His mercy that preceded the worlds.
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.
