It is only known by a Locus (Mawdi') not overtaken by severance (Insuram), nor changed by the passage of days; its configurations do not differ, nor do its attributes diverge. Thus, its outward indicates its inward1.
Accessing the knowledge of the Souls and Intellects—which are the Veils, the Gates, and the Abstracts in potentiality and actuality—is only possible for the Disciplined One (Al-Murtad) trained in Knowledge. At that point, he knows that [The Eternal (Al-Azal) is other than the Eternalities (Al-Azaliyyat)]; because the Eternalities are extended through the Eon (Dahr), as long as its span advances. And the "Goal" is the end of the Sought Thing.
Upon this is the saying of Al-Jali:
"Muhammad, [of] the Praise, is a Goal for us, From the Goal of Goals, the Possessor of Bounty."
And the Total Goal2 is the Master "Meem" (Exalted be His Might). The indication falls upon him, and it is he who possesses the Form of the Whole.
