“اکنون آدمی در دستِ قبضهٔ قدرت حقّ همچون کمان است و حقّ تعالی او را در کارها مستعمل میکند و فاعل در حقیقت حق است نه کمان، کمان آلت است و واسطه است لیکن بیخبرست و غافل از حقّ جهت قوام دنیا، زهی عظیم کمانی که آگه شود که «من در دست کیستم!»”

Now, a man in the grip of God's power is just like a bow. God the Exalted makes use of him, and the agent is in truth God, not the bow. The bow is a tool and an implement, but it is unaware and ignorant of God due to the arrangement of this world. What a magnificent bow it would be if it were to become aware of whose hands it is in!
