al-Misri
"The saint becomes more humble every house, for every house he draws nearer to God. The saints see without knowledge, without sight, without information received, without observation, without description, without veiling, and without veil." They are not them themselves, they are God and God is them. Saints know so they don't need to know because God is with them. They are to do God's work and it seems to me that they're suppose to be some kind of consious to people. If they've forgetten about God, remind them. If they're afraid, reassure them.. It sounds like if people are in need or unsure then the Saints should go out and help them be reassured. I like the end, "You are my saints, my beloved: you are mine and I am yours." It reminds us that God is equal and it's possible to be more like him, forgiving, loving, and trusting. And it reminds me that he loves us like equals and doesn't want to rule us. It's intimidating to think of him as the most powerful everything. God must truely be unbelievably amazing to not want to rule us, people with power always want more power or to control everything. But God just lets us be and live. What an amazing everything. I don't want to call him a person or Him or anything like that because he's not, he's everything.
