Translations:On Altıncı Söz/114/en

And yet, the verses, And to Him shall you return.(*^[1]) and, The angels ascend to Him in a day the measure of which is fifty thousand years,(*^[2]) and, the Hadith which says: ‘God is beyond seventy thousand veils,’(*^[3]) and truths like the Prophet’s Ascension show that we are infinitely distant from Him. I would like an explanation which will bring this profound mystery closer to the understanding.
