I

God’s righteous disposition is God’s own true essence.

It is not something written or shaped by man.

His righteous disposition is His righteous disposition

and has no relation or connection to any created being.

God Himself is God Himself. He’ll never become a created being;

even if He becomes one of the created beings,

His inherent disposition and essence will not change.

II

Knowing God is not the same as knowing an object;

to know God is not to dissect something,

nor is it the same as understanding a person.

If man uses his concept or method of knowing an object

or understanding a person to know God,

then you’ll never be able to attain knowledge of God.

Knowing God is not reliant on experience or imagination,

and therefore you must never impose your experience or imagination on God.

No matter how rich your experience and imagination may be,

they are still limited, they are still limited.

What’s more, your imagination doesn’t correspond to facts,

and much less to the truth,

and it’s incompatible with God’s true disposition and essence.

III

You’ll never succeed if you rely on your imagination

to know God’s essence.

The only path is this: Accept all that comes from God,

then gradually experience and understand it.

There will be a day when God will enlighten you

to truly understand and know Him

because of your cooperation

and because of your hunger and thirst for the truth.
