34:42


A - D is the symbol of ascent and descent and the link between the heart and mind. For mind is the heaven of the personal world and heart is its earth. And it is the natural link and order of heaven and earth that some things descend and some others ascend (34:2), so that the law of ascending of prayer from below and the descending of mercy from above may last and continue forever. This is the explanation of the perpetual ascent and descent. Note also the law of inclusion and exclusion, that the entire universe and all things in it enter the blessed personality of the Perfect Man and become confined in him and from here, they also spread throughout the universe (57:4). In point number seven, you can see the position of the personal world in the diagram of the universe. The universe, which revolves on the supreme circle of annihilation (fana') and survival (baqa'), in many ways continues to pass through the wisdom-filled personality of the Perfect Man (21:33).
