And we say: Another answer regarding [the term] 'Unveiled and Profound' (Anza’ Batin): 'Unveiled' (Anza’) from attributes, and 'Profound' (Batin) in the Essence.

Another answer: 'Unveiled' (Anza’) means He stripped this Form away from the worlds; He did not clothe anyone else with it, from the [highest] Name down to the lowest. Through it, He manifested. Even if He shows us a manifestation other than the Unveiled Form, He is merely turning our vision and showing us what He wills.
