domain in everlasting happiness, so when his worship becomes universal, he worships together with his private world and will receive a reward as extensive as his world." Then the universal meanings of the words: "Salutations, blessings, etc.", which are explained in the discussion about divine knowledge in the Second Station of The Shining Proof, occurred to my spirit, and when reciting "Salutations" in the tashahhud of the prayers, the four elements of my private world — earth, water, air, and light — suddenly appeared to my imagination as four universal tongues. Each tongue was reciting through the tongue of disposition millions and trillions of: "Salutations, blessings, benedictions, and supplications, and good words — all are God's!" I saw this with my imagination.

As the tongues of the element earth, living beings are all living words and declare: "Salutations!" For a handful of earth may act as a flowerpot for most flora and be a source for them. So either there has to be found in every handful of earth miniscule factories to the numbers of all the factories mankind has ever built, which is totally absurd, or this occurs through the limitless power and infinite knowledge and will of an Absolutely Omnipotent One. That is to say, in displaying this ability, the element earth utters with all its parts and particles the words, "Salutations to God!" (al-taḥīyyātu lillāh) in uncountable numbers. That is to say, all the gifts living beings offer from pre-eternity to post-eternity through their lives are the Necessarily Existent One's alone.

Then, like in everyone's private world, the second element of my private world, water, with all its atoms and particularly with regard to being the source of living beings and serving their lives, was disseminating through the universe through the tongue of disposition millions and trillions of the blessed word "blessings" (al-mubārakāt). For the duties that the droplets of water perform in the awakening of seeds and grains and in the seeds manifesting their innate functions, and in the perfect, orderly duties of those most beautiful and wondrous tiny creatures and young, and in the circumstances of those blessed beings, which cause all conscious beings to exclaim: "How great are God's blessings! What wonders God wills!" — for all those tasks and duties to be performed each atom of the element water would have to possess the knowledge of thousands of Platos and the will and wisdom of thousands of Luqmans the Wise. And this is absurd to the number of atoms of water. In which case, those blessed beings manifest those countless miracles through the boundless power, mercy, wisdom, and will of a Most Powerful One of Glory, a Most Merciful and Compassionate One, and they all utter the words "All blessings are God's" (al-mubārakāt li-llāh) to their number. Since this is so, on the night
