”اللہ کے لیے مثالیں نہ گھڑو“، یعنی اللہ کو دنیوی بادشاہوں اور راجوں اور مہاراجوں پر قیاس نہ کرو کہ جس طرح کوئی ان کے مصاحبوں اور مُقرب بار گاہ ملازموں کے توسّط کے بغیر اُن تک اپنی عرض معروض نہیں پہنچا سکتا اسی طرح اللہ کے متعلق بھی تم یہ گمان کرنے لگو کہ وہ اپنے قصر شاہی میں ملائکہ اور اولیاء اور دوسرے مقربین کے درمیان گھِرا بیٹھا ہے اور کسی کاکوئی کام اِن واسطوں کے بغیر اس کے ہاں سے نہیں بن سکتا۔
