As to your question about the meaning in the Arabic Hidden Words, "...couldst thou but see with Mine eye": When man reacheth the station of selflessness, and his love of self is entirely wiped out, his existence becometh like unto non- existence, and a ray from God's presence sheddeth its light upon him. Then he can see with the eye of God, and can hear with His ear. This is like iron in the fire. The qualities of the iron, its coldness, darkness and hardness are concealed, and it manifests heat, luminosity, and fluidity, which are the qualities of the fire.
