Stages of Gnosis
بِسۡمِ
ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
Imam al-Mugits Husayn ibn Manswur al-Hallaj (q.s.) said:
“Stillness,
then silence, then random speech;
Then knowledge,
intoxication, annihilation;
Earth, then
fire, then light;
Coldness, then
shade, then sunlight.
Thorny road,
then a path, then the wilderness;
River, then
ocean, then the shore;
Contentment,
desire, then love
Closeness,
union, intimacy.
Closing, then
opening, then obliteration;
Separation,
togetherness, then longing;
Signs for those of real understanding,
Who find this world of little value.”
