Ruzbihan Baqli – The Unveiling of Secrets – The Diary of a Sufi Master [translated by Carl Ernst]
110. Oceans Like Air
Then he hid from me and made me enter oceans like air, which had no dimensions. The might of the truth encompassed me.
I saw myself in these oceans like a drop, with no left or right, no before or behind, no up or down. I saw nothing but glory upon glory, power upon power, majesty upon majesty, might upon might, greatness upon greatness, eternity upon eternity post-eternity upon post-eternity.
Then he said from the wombs of the hidden,
"This is endless eternity and eternal divine presence."
