and He said Glorified be He: ["Did they not know that Allah knows their secret and their private conversation and that Allah is the Knower of the unseen?"] 1 , and his saying concerning the Imam, and he means by it himself, "his exoteric is a command that is not owned, and his esoteric is an unseen that is not perceived." And is anyone described by that except Allah? Because He, the Exalted, in the belief of all the people of beliefs, is an inaccessible unseen, not perceived by the furthest of resolves, and not reached by the diving of intellects. He (Mighty and Majestic) said: ["Vision perceives Him not, but He perceives [all] vision; and He is the Subtle, the Acquainted."] 2 .
And his saying: "And is the affair of the one who is the point of the beings... etc., recognized, or described, or known, or understood, or perceived, or owned?" So this speech indicates Allah, mighty are His names, because He alone is the one who is not described, and not perceived, and His affair is not owned, since there is no ultimate end above Him that encompasses Him.
