ABSTRACT

This chapter discusses existence of the bezel of the wisdom of the heart in the essence of Shu'ayb. The heart of the knower of God, derives from God's Mercy, but is more encompassing than Mercy, because the heart encompasses the Real, while his Mercy does not. Most scholars' hold this notion, pointing out that the Real has mercy on people, but is not the object of mercy. Divinity requires worshipers, while Lordship requires servant hood, because the essence of both Divinity and Lordship depends on worshipers and servant hood for its concrete and assumed existence. Lordship is identical with the Essence. However, because things contradict each other by virtue of their relationships, the Real describes himself in a tradition as the one who has mercy on his servants. The first breath which came forth from Lordship is related to the Merciful, which brought the cosmos into existence, the cosmos that Lordship in its reality and all the divine names require.
