Thu^cban (Serpent)

"Then he (Musa) flung down his staff and lo! it was a manifest serpent." (7:17; 26:32). For the Perfect Men the supreme Name or ism-i a^czam of God is the miracle of the staff of Hazrat Musa. Thus, there are many examples of how the supreme Name turns into a serpent in the personal world: (i) When the spiritual revolution takes place the personal world or microcosm becomes like a serpent and devours the macrocosm. (ii) In the spiritual battle between the truth and falsehood the successful dhikr of ism-i a^czam works like the staff of Hazrat Musa. (iii) Perfect intellect and profound wisdom are like a serpent which swallows the countless arguments of false religions.
