The intrinsic relationship (münâsebet-i zātiyye) between the Real (al-Ḥaqq, i.e., God) and the servant occurs in two ways. Either the multiplicity (kasra, abundance) of the servant's determinations and attributes does not affect the necessary existence and unity of the Real, but rather is itself affected, such that the darkness of multiplicity is colored by the light of the Real's unity; or the servant becomes characterized by the attributes of the Real and realizes all of His names (asmāʾ).
If these two relationships are combined, then the servant becomes the truly intended (i.e., the sought-after) perfect human (al-insān al-kāmil). If the first occurs without the second, the servant becomes beloved (maḥbūb) and brought-near (muqarrab). It is impossible for the second to occur without the first. In both cases, there are many degrees. In the first case, the degrees arise from the light of unity prevailing over multiplicity to a greater or lesser extent, or from the rulings of necessity (wujūb) dominating the rulings of possibility (imkān) with greater or lesser strength. In the second case, the degrees arise from whether the servant realizes all the names fully, or realizes some and not others. (Kāshānī, 90; Jāmiʿ, 100)
