things; so that thou mayest see with thine eyes, hear with thine ears and
not imitate any of the fathers and ancestors; have perception in the
matter of thy Lord, for the people are in dark veils. By God, the True
One, verily the doors of the everlasting paradise are opened before the
faces of the devoted ones and the Tree of Life therein overshadows the
spiritual ones. Happy are those who enter it and are sheltered under its
shadow!
