Ibn ʿArabī ~ None other than He!

 

 

 Know that God is never in anything,
nor is anything in Him.
He is neither inside
nor outside of anything.
None can see Him,
whether with the eyes of the head
or with the inner eye;
nor can any conceive Him with senses,
knowledge, mind, intelligence or imagination.
Only He can see Himself;
Only He can conceive Himself.
None can know Him;
Only He can know Himself.
He sees Himself by Himself;
He conceives Himself by Himself;
He knows Himself by Himself.
None other than He can see Him.
None other than He can know Him.
That which hides Him is His oneness.
None but Himself can hide Him.
The veil that hides Him is His own being.
