Marvelous Magician
The Koran is a marvelous magician. It speaks
clearly to the ears of the hinderers so that they
understand but are not one whit wiser. They don’t
even catch an inkling of the Koran’s true delights.
“God has set a seal…”
How wonderfully gracious God is! It sets a seal
on those who listen and do not understand, argue
and yet learn nothing.
God is gracious. Its wrath is gracious, and even Its lock is gracious. But Its lock is nothing next to Its unlocking, for the grace of that is indescribable. If I shatter into pieces, it is through the infinite grace of God’s unlocking.
Beware, do not think I am sick and dying. That is only a veil. My slayer is this grace of God’s and Its incomparableness.
The dagger of illness flashes forth to distract the eyes of strangers, so that no profane and defiled eyes can perceive Its secret slaying.
