[Epub] ➟ The Tawasin of Mansur Al-Hallaj, In Verse: A Mystical Treatise on Knowing God, & Invitation to the Dance By Jabez L. Van Cleef – Agedanna.info

Here A Medieval Muslim Mystic Records His Living Meditation On Becoming One With God, Where He Likens Himself To A Moth Leaping Into Flame In That Bright Instant, Wings Aflame, Reduced To Fragments Of His Name, The Moth Ash Shows His Body S Form Where No Mark Will Distinguish Him Rumi Wrote Three Centuries Later On Al Hallaj S Words, I Am God, People Imagine That It Is A Presumptive Claim, Whereas I Find It Is Really A Presumptive Claim To Say I Am The Slave Of God For, I Am God Is An Expression Of Great Humility The Man Who Says I Am The Slave Of God Affirms Two Existences, His Own And God S But He That Says, I Am God, Has Made Himself Non Existent And Has Given Himself Up, And Says I Am God, That Is, I Am Naught, He Is All There Is No Being But God S This Is The Extreme Of Humility And Self Abasement
