ABSTRACT

In this chapter the author discusses the third kind of God's Unity, that is, the divine acts, which are the outcome of the second kind of unity. God's Essence exists in young and old people, in the ignorant and in the knower. There is no creature which he does not seize its forelock. The believers and people of unveiling and finding hold that creation is intelligible and the Real is sensible and perceivable, others except these two groups hold that the Real is intelligible and creation is perceivable. The latter are like salty and bitter water, while the former are like sweet and pleasant water, tasty to drink. People are divided into two groups: those who walk on a way they know and whose aim them cognize, and this way is with respect to them a straight path; and those who walk on a way they do not know and whose aim is not cognized by them.
