The pain of separation
has a reason in vision
That reason is known
by the pain unknown
Thus, pain cannot enter
within separation’s mentor
Because pain is indeed
unlike separation decreed

So guidance is both prior and subsequent, while only light is encompassed within its bounds and nothing else.

Since guidance was specified from eternity
It paved the way from beginning to the end
The path became visible amidst the light
Only light and only light and only light

It means: “Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) guides to (the gnosis of) His light whom He wills.” Here, knowledge itself becomes possible through guidance, and the purpose of guidance is light, so without light there is neither guidance nor knowledge.

In this regard, the error apparently occurred in knowledge, and not in the process of planting. So apparently knowledge has come before action. However, in this case (where the importance lies on an esoteric basis), the error actually occurred in guidance, and guidance isn't possible without light, so light has come before guidance, and guidance has come before action.
