When it set, his soul became distressed and he said: "O Ancient of Days! Unless my Lord guide me, I shall surely be among those who go astray." Then He appeared to him in His Persian Veil, and he said: "This is my Lord; this is greatest." When it set, he fell prostrate and cried out: "Your pardon, O Great One! For I have turned my face, firmly and truly, towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth, and never shall I be of those who ascribe partners to God."'"
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.
