Lame loyally remembered that I’d rendered extensive services to them at one

time or another。 The presence of the Minister of Accounts; Red Melek Pasha;

who;  at  the  time  of  my  death  was  both  in  high  favor  and  much  criticized;

enlivened the humble courtyard of our neighborhood mosque。 Had I lived and

continued an active political life; I would’ve been promoted to the same rank

as  Mustafa  Agha;  the  Sultan’s  Chief  Herald;  whose  presence  especially

delighted  me。  The  mourners  constituted  a  large;  dignified  and  impressive

group  that  included  the  Divan  Secretary  Kemalettin  Effendi;  Chief  Secretary

Salim Effendi the Austere; the heralds of the Divan—each of whom was either

a  dear  friend  or  an  archenemy—a  group  of  former  Divan  councillors  who’d

resigned  early  from  active  political  life;  my  school  friends;  others  who’d

somehow learned of my death—I cannot imagine how or where—and various

other relatives; in…laws and youths。

I  also  took  pride  in  the  congregation;  its  seriousness  and  its  grief。  The

presence  of  the  Head  Treasurer  Haz?m  Agha  and  the  mander  of  the

Imperial Guard made clear to all in attendance that His Excellency Our Sultan

was sincerely aggrieved by my untimely death。 I was; indeed; very pleased by

this。  I  don’t  know  whether  the  sorrow  of  Our  Glorious  Sultan  means  great

efforts will be made to catch my rogue murderer; including the mobilization of

torturers;  but  I  do  know  this:  that  accursed  man  is  now  in  the  courtyard;

among  the  other  miniaturists  and  calligraphers;  wearing  a  dignified  and

exceedingly tormented expression as he gazes at my coffin。

Pray; don’t think that I’m infuriated by my murderer or that I’m set on a

path of revenge; or even that my soul is restless because I’ve been treacherously

and  cruelly  slain。  I  am;  at  present;  on  a  pletely  different  plane  of  being;

and my soul is quite at peace; having returned to its former glory after years of

suffering on Earth。

My soul temporarily quitted my body; which was writhing in pain as it lay

covered in blood from the blows of the inkpot; and quivered for a while within

an intense light; afterward; two beautiful and smiling angels with faces bright

as the sun—such as I’d read about countless times in the Book of the Soul—

slowly approached me within this ethereal brilliance; grabbed me by my arms;

as if I were still a body; and began their ascent。 Ever so serenely and gently; ever

so quickly we ascended as if in a blissful dream! We passed through forests of

fire; forded rivers of light and forged dark seas and mountains of snow and ice。

Each crossing took us thousands of years; though it seemed no more than the

blink of an eye。

We  ascended  through  the  seven  Heavens;  passing  varieties  of  gatherings;

peculiar  creatures;  marshes  and  clouds  swarming  with  an  infinite  variety  of
