Every secret is concealed; so whoever understands this and broadcasts it to the ignorant, intending thereby obstinacy, has indeed violated the Secret of Allah."

He says: Regarding the statement of the speaker: "If he bears witness against himself, or his soul bears witness, that the Visible Image is the Universal Goal—not the totality of the Creator, yet the Creator is not other than it—are you not then the witness against yourself that you recognize and establish the Visible Image, and testify that you are its beholder?"

And its [the Image's] verifier. Therefore, the Proof (al-Hujja) is binding upon you by virtue of your own testimony—if you are indeed a truthful Gnostic—to establish the evidence for the existence of the Image, and to clarify its manifestation and its Eternity (Sarmadiyya). You must show that it is firm for the beholding, eternal in its being, and clear in its demonstration; only then will your word be truthful. Otherwise, you are a nullifier of what you have claimed."

He [al-Harrani] continues: "He has alerted you by his saying: 'If you knew and He knew you,' or 'If you learned,' in his statement regarding the Visible Image: [if so], then you have affirmed all existence and beholding."

Then he said: "It is the Universal Goal."
