He did not say, Whosomaketh himself to cease to be, knoweth his Lord, for he (upon him be peace)understood and saw that there is nothing beside him. Thereupon he pointed out that the knowledge of the soul was the knowledge of GOD (whose name be exalted).
That is, "know that thy existence is not thy existence nor other than thy existence.
For thou art not existent nor non-existent, nor other than existent nor other than non-existent.
Thy existence and thy non-existence are His existence, and yet without there being any existence or non-existence, because thy existence and thy non-existence are actually His existence."
So if thou seest things(without seeing another thing along with GOD) to be Him, thou knowest thyself ; and, varily, to know thyself after this fashion is to know GOD, without wavering and without doubt, and without compounding anything of what is of recent origin with what is original, in anyway......
