In like manner, those words that have streamed forth from the source of power
and descended from the heaven of glory are innumerable and beyond the ordinary
comprehension of man. To them that are possessed of true understanding and
insight the Súrah of Húd surely sufficeth. Ponder a while those holy words in
your heart, and, with utter detachment, strive to grasp their meaning. Examine
the wondrous behaviour of the Prophets, and recall the defamations and denials
uttered by the children of negation and falsehood, perchance you may cause the
bird of the human heart to wing its flight away from the abodes of heedlessness
and doubt unto the nest of faith and certainty, and drink deep from the pure
waters of ancient wisdom, and partake of the fruit of the tree of divine
knowledge. Such is the share of the pure in heart of the bread that hath
descended from the realms of eternity and holiness.
The Surah of Hud sufficeth? Does this refer to this topic alone or someone pure
in heart being able to know all things from that one sura?
