perhaps one of the reasons for revelation is the dominance of love and the transgression of modesty so that the person then has no control over himself or his own behavior or justice. this is one of the most distant ends of love and the strongest of its control over the mind until it represents the beautiful in the form of the ugly and the ugly in the form of the beautiful. there he sees the good as evil and the evil as good. how many a person whose veil is protected whose mask is lowered and whose cover is drawn has love revealed his veil for example? the most beloved thing to him is disgrace. if it had been presented to him before today he would have been overcome by trembling at the mention of it and he would have sought refuge from it for a long time so that what was difficult would have become easy what was dear would have become light and what was severe would have become soft.
وربما كان من أسباب الكشف غلبة الحب وتسور الجهر على الحياء، فلا يملك الإنسان حينئذ لنفسه صرفا ولا عدلا. وهذا من أبعد غايات العشق وأقوى تحكمه على العقل، حتى يمثل الحسن في تمثال القبيح، والقبيح في هيئة الحسن. وهنالك يرى الخير شرا، والشر خيرا. وكم مصون الستر مسبل القناع مسدول الغطاء قد كشف الحب ستره مثلا، وأحب شيء إليه الفضيحة فيما لو مثل له قبل اليوم لاعتراه النافض عند ذكره، ولطالت استعاذته منه، فسهل ما كان وعرا، وهان ما كان عزيزا، ولان ما كان شديدا.
