Kitab-i-Badi/English700

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.
