Do you not see that God "every moment is in a state" (Q LV,29)? In the same way, the heart is constantly undergoing transformation in accordance with His transformations in the states of its consciousness. Therefore He said, "surely in that", i.e. in the Quran, "there is a reminder to him who has a heart" (L,37) which undergoes transformation according to different forms and attributes. He did not say, "who possesses a reason", because the reason becomes limited according to particular beliefs, so the Divine Reality – Who is infinite – becomes restricted in that which it perceives, in contrast to the heart, for since it is a locus for diverse theophanies from the levels of Divinity and Lordship and since it undergoes transformation according to the forms of these theophanies, it remembers its forgotten existence before it appeared in this physical and elemental level, and it finds here what it had lost, as the Prophet said: Wisdom is the believer's straying camel; he takes it from wherever he may find it, and does not care from what vessel it had issued. |
