Peace be upon you,
If knowing the self is knowing the Lord, is the unplumbed depth within me the unknowable realm of God, revealed through the quest to know myself?
َّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
Knowing the self leads to knowing the Lord. The unplumbed depths of the human being reflect God’s unknowable realm, which comes to light through the quest to know oneself. A human being is like a book: the more deeply it is read, the more fully one appreciates the greatness of its Author. Yet the Divine Essence remains beyond our knowledge.
The human being is like the Book of God: there are passages that can be read, passages that have been read, and passages that remain unread. The more one reads, the better one comes to know its Author and His power and majesty—yet His essence can neither be described nor known.
