65: EXPLANATION OF A VERSE IN THE KITÁB-I-AQDAS 238 |
If man has not this knowledge, he will be separated
from God, and when this separation exists, good actions
have not complete effect. This verse does not mean that
the souls separated from God are equal, whether they
perform good or bad actions. It signifies only that the
foundation is to know God, and the good actions result
from this knowledge. Nevertheless, it is certain that between
the good, the sinners and the wicked who are veiled
from God there is a difference. For the veiled one who has
good principles and character deserves the pardon of God,
while he who is a sinner, and has bad qualities and character,
is deprived of the bounties and blessings of God.
Herein lies the difference.
