6.0 - THE SIXTH SOURCE: Titles Mentioned in Other Bibliographical Sources

Whoever imagined that the path of supreme masters goes by claiming, then ignorance is detracting and keeping him away.
***
The way to God is (attained) by His taking care, of whomever He wills and appraises.
***
Due to its reality and scarcity, He would not permit unless "the spikes are covered by ears".
***
The state is a result of the station, so if one claims, his state will verify his assertion.
***
But the poor person imagines that knowledge is inscribed, inside the papers of their books.
***
Nay, but what they have deposited therein, is only a plain portion of that which is baffling.
***
People (of realities) cannot be read except by themselves, due to their states (pf proximity) with their Lord, how that can be confined!
***
Hence, you see the intruder measuring with reason, so that it might be said he is one of them, to be magnified!
***
But his statements are challenged if he was not expressing his true state.
***
The knowledge of the path may not be achieved with ease, or by measuring, but you should keep striving that you might fairly reach victory.
***
The knowledge of the people (of realities) is elevated, above the perception of someone who has not encountered affliction and baffling.
