Mystical Revelation to Sheikh Omar al-Maiy (roughly translated) For it is by Water only, That the Spirit of Life is made manifest: The Lord has sent the precious Soul of Wetness to nurture in many forms. Of these forms the principal ones are: (praise to the mighty clouds!) Rain,snow,gloom of night, fog and hoarfrost. For the right-thinking Camel is led by the nose To the oasis. But if your camel runs off---it is of no avail! Water,water, give me water! (Manuscript deteriorated.)
