Al Arabi plumbing the depths of the lowest of the low seals
Even so is the Cosmos preserved so long as the Perfect Man remains in it. ۱- Did the Perfect Man sleep with the lights off?
... Do you not see that when he shall cease to be present in it? ۲- How to see if the lights are off. How?
... and when the seal [on the treasury] of the lower world is broken, none of what the Reality preserved will endure and all of it will depart ۳- Departing is such sweet sorrow, esp. when the lower world seal is broken.
... each part thereof becoming reunited with every other part, [after which] the whole will be transferred to the Final Abode where Man the Perfect will be the seal forever. ۴- If forever is longer than the Final stretch, will the Abode abide by such elasticity?
