Ibn al-‘Arabi<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Now guidance is that man should be guided to bewilderment, and know that the affair is bewilderment and that bewilderment is unrest and motion, and that motion is life, without stillness and so without death, and is existence without non-existence.”<\/p>\n

“And thus there is nothing but bewilderment, shattering one’s vision, although the one who knows what we are saying shall not be bewildered.”<\/p>\n

“…Drowned in the sea which the knowledge of God is, and which is bewilderment”<\/p>\n
