The Shaykh : This is a great benefit. He says:
"For by His Essence He created the highest heavens *** Then He rose above by His Essence, so understand these two"

"The pronoun of the action of rising above returns *** to the Essence that was mentioned without distinction"
Is it clear? The pronoun of the action of rising above in His saying:, yes, "returns *** to the Essence that was mentioned without distinction"
