Thus, every opposite is different, but not everything different is opposite; for the opposite is like water and fire, while the different is like the right and the left, and heaven and earth. And the combination between them is not possible in the nomenclature of the sages and the theologians, but their combination is possible in the nomenclature of the people of reality, just as he said:
My qiblah among them is my left
Just as the rising-place of my sun for them is a setting.
And the descriptions (na'ut) and the attributes (sifat) are one, and it was said that the difference between them is that the describer: is specific to what changes, like standing and sitting, while the attribute: is for what does not change, like knowing and virtuous. And comeliness (husn) is specific to the face, while beauty (jamal) is in the limbs.
And the veil (hijab) linguistically is every barrier. And not a single atom in the universe moves, whether of animal or plant, except by the holiness of knowledge, even if it is not conscious of that. And that which is in motion does not cease to be moving until it connects with its cause, and the individual souls are the effects of the Universal Soul, so whenever they connect with their cause they find rest.
