Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — Paragraph 70
Source (Persian)
يا شيخ اين مقام مقام فنای از نفس و بقاء باللّه است و اين کلمه اگر ذکر شود مدلّ بر نيستی بحت بات است * اين مقام لا املک لنفسی نفعا و لا ضرّا و لا حياة و لا نشورا است *
Translation
O Shaykh! This station is the station in which one dieth to himself and liveth in God. Divinity, whenever I mention it, indicateth My complete and absolute self-effacement. This is the station in which I have no control over mine own weal or woe nor over my life nor over my resurrection.
