188- Think, and Scrutinize
Ponder on this example; this is the experientially correct concept; not what others theorize.
Some may think that their existence has emerged from nothingness and is going to return to nothingness. This concept is incorrect. It has existed before this, albeit in a different form, and it will change into another form again. Is it even possible to have emerged from nothing and become nothing? What does that even mean? Where can it go to become nothing, and how does it come into existence from nothingness. Think and answer. It existed in another form and will exist in some other form. Not only human beings but the entire universe and all beings are like that. They have no beginning and no end. Everything revolves, cycles, and transforms.
In short: the universe does not exist from the "outside." Whatever there is, is within itself.
Think about what we have discussed here to find the answer to your question.
You said: "Moreover, in the fourth stage of the four trips of Mulla Sadra objects to the partition of existence and confirms an existence that is supreme and expanded, absolute, even from the boundaries of absoluteness (the entity of God), along with an existence that is this constant, external and apparent being." 1
