Part 13: The Section on Final Ends

True knowledge is what keeps the soul alive, so passing away becomes an everlasting kingdom. Through genuine seeking it grows known, through disguise it stays hidden away. First comes existence, then the stripping bare of self; then singleness, then union, and at last, oneness with God. Qasemi is a friend to whoever holds the faith; whoever kept the faith owns only this. God's blessings upon Ahmad, and upon the souls of his most glorious companions.
