He was inspired through his sincerity that there is no goal greater than what he witnessed beyond it; so he disassociated himself from polytheism (al-ishrāk) and said: "I have turned my face toward Him who created the heavens and the earth, as a true believer, and I am not of the polytheists" 1 .
By "turning," he means toward the Veil (al-Ḥijāb), who is the Creator of the heavens and the earth—and they are the Gate (al-Bāb) and the Greatest Orphan (al-Yatīm al-Akbar). The Proclaimed (al-Munabba’) purified himself from making the Veil a partner to the Meaning in his turning; then he affirmed all to the Meaning, saying: "Indeed, my prayer, my rites, my living, and my dying are for God, Lord of the worlds" 2 .
By "prayer," he means for the Veil; by "rites," for the Gate; and by "living," for the Greatest Orphan, because he was the cause of his existence. "My dying" is an indication of the predestination of his non-existence for God, Lord of the worlds—meaning the True Meaning.
