“_Masnavi._ Recognise the mark of God in every place, Never place the foot without its own limit. Whoever has a faith other than that of Jabr[190] Is, according to the word of the prophet, to be accounted a Guéber. In like manner as that Guéber said: ‘Yezdán, Aherman,’ So was it as if that ignorant blockhead had said: ‘He and me;’ The actions have but a metaphorical connection with us, A connection with him in reality is a ludicrous play. How came it, O man without intelligence, that, from eternity, This man should be Muhammed, and the other Abú Jehel?” It is written in the glorious Koran: “If any thing good happens to them, they say: ‘It comes from God;’ and if any thing bad, they say: ‘It comes from me,’ say: ‘Every thing comes from God.’” The Súfis say that the whole heaven is a body, the first intelligence its soul, the breath of the whole his heart, and the spirits of the seven planets, of the fixed stars and the rest, are his power. “Your creation and your resurrection are as those of one man.” The Shaikh Mohí eddin[191] says in his _Faś hawdí_, “chapter of repentance:” The world is the image of God, and he the soul and governor of the universe, further he is the great mankind. The lord Maulavi Jámí, in the _Nakd-al faśus_, “the ready money of bezels,” states, that there are two divisions of the beings of the universe: the first consists of those who on no account have any sort of connection with the bodily world, in conformity to office and direction; these, called _Cherubim_, are divided into two classes: the one take not the least notice of the world and its inhabitants, and are named “the great Angels;” the other, although not connected with the bodily world, are yet entranced in astonishment as witnesses and valuers _of God’s power_, standing at the curtain of the divine court, and being the ministers of the supreme bounty; before them is an angel entitled “the great spirit,” greater than whom no angel exists. According to another interpretation he is said to be “the highest secretary and first intelligence.” This great spirit (the blessing of God be upon him!) holds the first rank of this class. The spirit, who is called _Jabríil_, follows after him in this legion. “The rank which he possesses is a place known.”
