Everlasting Death

Praise consists in describing (excellent qualities) and in rending the veil (of ignorance): the Sun is
independent of exposition and description.
The praiser of the Sun is (really) pronouncing an encomium on himself, for (he says implicitly), “My eyes are clear and not inflamed.”
To blame the Sun of the world is to blame one's self, for (it implies), “My eyes are blind and dark
and bad.”
Do thou pity any one in the world who has become envious of the fortunate Sun.
Can he ever mask it (the Sun) from (men's) eyes and (prevent it) from giving freshness to things rotten?
Or can they diminish its infinite light or rise in resistance to its power?
Whosoever is envious of (him who is) the World—verily, that envy is everlasting death.
