The person who knows and loves God Almighty may receive endless bounties,
happiness, lights, and mysteries. While the one who does not truly know and love him
is afflicted spiritually and materially by endless misery, pain, and fears. Even if such
an impotent, miserable person owned the whole world, it would be worth nothing for
him, for it would seem to him that he was living a fruitless life among the vagrant
human race in a wretched world without owner or protector. Everyone may
understand just how forlorn and baffled is man among the aimless human race in this
bewildering fleeting world if he does not know his Owner, if he does not discover his
Master. But if he does discover and know Him, he will seek refuge in His mercy and
will rely on His power. The desolate world will turn into a place of recreation and
pleasure, it will become a place of trade for the hereafter.
