The second is that it does not occur contrary to the prescribed limits, such as spying on the private parts that God has forbidden to spy on. And if he tracks them, he falls upon them by this revelation. It is satanic, not merciful.

The third is that it never errs, unlike the satanic. For its mistakes are many. As God said to Ibn Sayyad, "What do you see?" He said, "I see a truthful one and a liar." He said, "You have been misled." Thus the revelation is satanic and must lie. It does not continue its truth at all.

He said: The third degree is inspiration that purely clears the eye of verification. And speaks of the eternal eye purely. And the inspiration is the ultimate that prevents indication to it.

He said: The eye of verification with him is the annihilation in the witnessing of the truth (1), whereby everything other than it dissolves in that witnessing and returns to forms of pure non-existence. The inspiration in this degree purely clears this eye for the inspired, such that nothing from the perception of minds or the senses merges with it. If there is a mental or sensory perception, the clarity of the eye of truth is not purely established. And the speaker about this revelation with them is not understood by anyone except those who are with him and participate with him. And according to the masters of this revelation, all creation is veiled from it. And with them is that knowledge, intellect, and state are veils upon him and that the speech of creation is only with the tongue of the veil, and that they do not understand the language of that which is beyond the veil of the hidden meaning. Therefore, it prevents indication to it and expression from it. For the indication and expression only relate to the tangible and the conceivable, and this matter is beyond the senses and the intellect. (1) And the essence of this inspiration is that it is an inspiration that rises with it the intermediaries and dissolves them, but it is with the Sufis - those who speak in their tongue, Ibn ‘Arabi, Suhrawardi, al-Jili, and their brothers - the divine truth that flowed from it all existents, and all existents are manifestations and spheres for it, and names and attributes.
