23:78
Wisdom # 2:
Natiq (speaking Prophet) is that light of God which acts as the inner ear of the successful mu'mins (male and female); Asas is that Light of God which becomes their eye of insight; the Imam becomes their hand of intellect; and Bab or Hujjat becomes their feet of remembrance (idhikr). This is what is meant by God becoming His chosen servant's internal senses, as He, the Great Benefactor, has mentioned this bounty in the Holy Qur'an, "He it is Who created for you ears, eyes and hearts." (23:78). These are not the limbs that even a donkey, a cow or infidels have. Rather, they are the ones which are attained after annihilation in God, as mentioned above.
Hudud-i din are the internal senses:
Those who have recognised the Natiq, the Asas and the Imam of the time, have attained the eye of marifat both in this world and in the hereafter, as God mentions these, His great favours: "He it is Who has created for you ears, eyes and hearts (i.e. the Natiq, the Asas and the Imam), (but) little it is that you give thanks for." (23:78). This is an explanation of this verse.
