Mahzarnama (The Memorandum) — Page 65
Mahzarnama 65 the Holy Quran is the state of complete submission to God. Despite their own excellences they keep an eye on their deficiencies and, in the presence of the greatness of God Almighty, pass all their time in humility, self-negation and meekness. They appreciate as their true reality humility and poverty and indigence, and being full of faults and mistakes. They deem the excellences that are bestowed on them like the temporary light which the sun casts upon a wall, and which has no real relationship with the wall, and is subject to decline like a borrowed garment. They ascribe all good and excellence to God, and deem His Perfect Being as the fountainhead of all good. By the observation of Divine qualities their hearts are filled with the certainty that they themselves are nothing, so that they are wholly lost to their own existence and desires and designs. The surging ocean of the majesty of the Divine so envelops their hearts that they experience a thousand types of nothingness, and they are wholly cleansed and purified of the least suspicion of associating anything with God.
