Verily I beseech God, with
all humbleness, to remove the covering from thine insight and to show unto thee
His great signs, and to make thee a banner of guidance, severed from all else
save Him, enkindled with the fire of His love, engaged in His praise and
apprehending the realities of things; so that thou mayest see with thine eyes,
hear with thine ears and not imitate any of the fathers and ancestors; have
perception in the matter of thy Lord, for the people are in dark veils. By God,
the True One, verily the doors of the everlasting paradise are opened before
the faces of the devoted ones and the Tree of Life therein overshadows the
spiritual ones. Happy are those who enter it and are sheltered under its
shadow!
