81:23

---

Wisdom 2: Ufuq (pl. afaq, 81:23) literally means the place or border where the earth and the heaven appear to be joined. By this is meant the subtle body which is on the border of the heaven of spirituality and the earth of corporeality; it is the quintessence of the body as well as the mazhar (locus of manifestation) of the soul, it is the particle as well as the world of particles, it is an all-surrounding ocean as well as its pearl, it is the lightning of Mount Sinai as well as the manifestation of the light. In short, it is not just many things, it is everything.
