This is an allusion to people who stand up for God in God. They are not taken aback by the blame of any blamer nor cut off from God by relying on any causes. They have seen the shortcomings of their own souls and immersed their lives in gaining God’s approval. They act for God, give counsel for God’s religion, and call God’s creatures to God. Their trade has profited them and they do not regret their handshake.
3:104 Let there be a community of you inviting to the good.
This is the description of a people who stand through the Real’s making them stand and who have been freed from their own power and strength and disengaged from their own desires and aims. They are outside the circle of deeds and states, free of the captivity of choice and self-determination. They know God, they call upon God, and they strive in God’s religion. They do not think about people or their blame. In their hearts, they have friendship for the Patron and in their eyes the collyrium of Self-disclosure. They see everything just as it is. Others look from the artisanry to the Artisan, but they look from the Artisan to the artisanry. They are the elect of the Presence, branded by the Empire.
They are the ones burnt by a union and killed by love. Their blood has been spilled and their property utilized, but their hearts are in His grasp, their spirits in His embrace.
