The nature of the soul...


The nature of the soul is to gather on its way all that it can gather and to make a mold out of it.

The attributes of the lower world become so clustered around the soul that it almost forgets its very first experience of itself, its purest being.

In the angelic sphere the soul attracts angelic atoms, in the djinn sphere it attracts djinn atoms, and on earth, physical atoms.

Thus mankind is clothed in the garb of an angel, of a djinn, and of a human being.

But when he sees himself in the garb of a human being without seeing the other garbs, he believes he is a human being.
