The Hidden One
God created pain and sorrow
that happiness might show itself by contrast.
For hidden things are made manifest
by means of their opposites:
since God has no opposite, He is hidden.
Mathnawi 1:1130-1, tr. Helminski

The Supreme One
[FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt][FONT=book antiqua, goudy old style, bell mt]H[/FONT]e knows all that is beyond the reach of a created being's perception
as well as all that can be witnessed by a creature's senses or mind --
the Great One, the One far above anything that is or could ever be!
