Come, tell me the Light which the spirit from the world-shape [this world of Phenomena]

When it becomes [gets] beyond [of] this shape, where [is] its abode and station? [place of descent = “manzil”]

Is its place [of existence] in plants or in the Higher Universe [the world above?]

Or in the Lower Universe between water, dust and clay” [or stone]? [the strata between the centre and the surface of the earth]


2. “If, knowingly, that secret, come and tell me: ‘Light’

And, if not, away! not knowing, without head-wandering, careless [care not]

Dear ones! The spirit of the knowing when it departs from these chains,

Does it become [wend] towards the skies [heavens]? Is that its Station obtaining?[133]

Or why in the shape of man [anthropomorphic shape] is the Adamite created?[134]
