and the presence and absence are by you, and that that meaning did not change in its essence, nor was it absent, nor was it present, and that you did not perceive it except after it was obtained by you in a mental image, so that image pointed to it and you knew it by it. This is a close parable that gives a person a sensory image that explains the meaning of appearance, interiority, absence, and presence, in support of and proceeding upon the doctrine of the Sheikh of the Religion: 'He was not absent, but rather we were absent.'"

And from here we understand that His manifestation, glorified is He, is not in the meaning that He was veiled by a veil that prevents seeing Him,
