Refuge for the Whole World

The Sálih-spirit is not capable of being hurt: the light of God is not subject to infidels.

No one gains victory over their (the saints') hearts: harm comes (only) to the oystershell, not to the pearl.
The Sálih-spirit is not capable of being hurt: the light of God is not subject to infidels.
The Soul (God) attached to it (the spirit) the earthly body, that they (the infidels) might hurt (it) and suffer tribulation, Not knowing that to hurt this (body) is to hurt (offend) Him: the water in this jar is joined with the water in the river.
God connected (the spirit) with a body, in order that he (the prophet or saint) might become a refuge for the whole world.
