133 5, 1 | it; but the Prophet made light of it, and said he would
134 5, 1 | witness of the spiritual light within. After being nurtured
135 5, 1 | give the hypocrite~Such light as is not possessed by the
136 5, 1 | Ocean like a stream.~But the light of the traveler arrived
137 5, 1 | at the goal,~Verily that light fills deserts and wastes.~
138 5, 3 | eternity of God, as the light of the stars is lost in
139 5, 3 | the stars is lost in the light of the noonday sun. Everything
140 5, 6 | darkness can behold the light. His breathings are as those

151 5, 8 | either hand is naught but the light of dawn.~But till that stone
152 5, 8 | is the essential enemy of light.~If it then hold itself
153 5, 8 | ruby;~Pharaoh an enemy of light, Mansur a friend.~O prattler,
154 5, 8 | Expressing union with the light, not mere incarnation. 7~
155 5, 10 | having seen that divine light~Is this, to withdraw thyself
156 5, 10 | But when he has seen the light of God, he is safe~From
157 5, 10 | preacher has himself no light or life,~How can his words
158 5, 10 | is divorced from 'Omar's light~Is deceived by his own crooked
159 5, 11 | are other principles~Of light and great price to be gained

172 6, 6 | set darkness opposing the light. 5~God set up two standards,
173 6, 6 | the opposite of his pure light.~In like manner these two
