                      and  the  Perfect  man         necessary  for  a  person  to
                      who is seeking and still       connect to his own perfection,
                      seeking  the  paths  of        and  this  point  makes  the

                      natural, imperfect man         related  to  Eckhart’s  thought,
                      who  is  far  away  and  is    Ibn Arabi says:
                      absolutely  ignorant  of              “man  is  the  last  birth,
                      this  birth”.  (Eckhart,              so that the powers of all

                                                            Divine     names       are
                  The  universality  of  the                gathered in their perfection,
               perfect human being is not an                and  there  is  no  more
               entity or a relativity between Haqq and      perfect than the Perfect
               creation  (Khaleq),  as  we  will            man,  and  whoever  has
               explain  His right in  the  matter           not  been  completed  in
               of  the  Divine  image;  But                 this  world  from  the

               which  all  perfection  is  reflected,       a talking animal, part of
               and on this Ibn Arabi says:                  the image only that does
                      “The  Perfect  man  is                not  catch  up  to  the
                      summarized and manifested             degree of man”. (Ibn Arabi,

                      and ancient”. (Ibn Arabi,         That  means  this  kind  of
