The Meaning of the Poet’s Statement: And According to the Three Conditions, It Is That *** Were It Not for the Difference, They Would Not Be Two Things
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : So then, "*** were it not for the difference, they would not be two things"
"opposites, or equals, or other things as *** they are, but rather, without doubt, they are identical"
This means that if there were no difference, unity would be necessary, and we would return to the first point and demolish everything we have previously said about it being the Essence that subsists in itself, separate from the created things and distinct from them.
