Summary/Abstract: The perfect man governs the man's self at the last stage of perfection and realization. There is nothing above this stage that man could conceive. It can be said that only the divine and absolute Being or Self is above it. Thus, it can be said that the perfect man calms within himself all the ontological states of God as well as all creation. Moreover, the only difference between the perfect man and the ontological stage designated by the name Allah, that is, God as we conceive Him with all His positive attributes, is that God is the Master and man is the slave, or that God is the Necessary Being in His own Essence, while man is a necessary being by the power of the other (wajibbi'l-ghayr). If this were not the case, everything that could be said about God could also be said about the perfect man.
