The needle does not have a double thread; come into this needle as it is unified.
The thread is connected to the needle; it is not suitable for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
How can the camel's existence become narrow except through the scissors of asceticism and action?
The hand of God must be upon it, O so-and-so, for He can make any impossibility possible.
Every impossibility becomes possible by His hand; every stubborn one becomes calm out of fear of Him.
What are the blind and the leper? Even the dead come to life by the spell of that dear one.
And that nonexistence, which was deader than the dead, is compelled in the hand of His creation.
Every day He is in a new affair; do not consider Him idle or inactive.
The least of His tasks each day is to send three armies this way.
An army from the loins to the mothers so that a plant may grow in the womb.
An army from the wombs to the earth so that the world may be filled with male and female.
An army from the earth to the other side of death so that everyone may see the beauty of action.
This speech has no end, so hurry towards those two pure, pure friends.
The attribute of unity.
His friend said, "Come into me, O my entirety, not opposing like the flower and thorn of the garden."
The thread has become unified, the error has decreased now; if you see the letters Kaf and Nun as two.
Kaf and Nun are like an attractive lasso to draw nonexistence into events.
Thus, the lasso must be double in form, though those two are unified in effect.
Whether two feet or four feet, they lead the way, like scissors, two become one.
Look at those two washermen partners; there is apparent opposition between them.
One dips the cloth in water, and the other partner dries it.
Then he wets the dry one again, as if weaving from the opposition of opposites.
Yet these two opposites, appearing to oppose, are of one heart and one work in satisfaction.
Every prophet and every saint has a path, but as long as God leads, they are all one.
When the gathering of listeners falls asleep, the millstones are carried away by water.
The movement of this water is above the mill; its movement in the mill is for you.
When you no longer need the mill, the water returns to its original stream.
The speech is directed towards the mouth for instruction; otherwise, that speech has a separate stream.
It flows without sound and repetition, under the rivers to the flower gardens.
O God, show the soul that place where speech grows without letters.
So that the pure soul may step from the beginning towards the vast expanse of nonexistence.
A realm very spacious and wide, and this imagination and existence find melody from it.
Imagination is narrower than nonexistence; therefore, imagination is the cause of sorrow.
Existence is narrower than imagination; thus, the moon becomes like a crescent in it.
The existence of the world of sense and color is narrower, like a tight prison.
The cause of narrowness is composition and number; the side of composition pulls the senses.
Beyond the senses, know the world of unity; if you seek oneness, drive towards that side.
