same truth, which they call the radio, that the manifestation of an infinite pre-eternal power which comprises a limitless knowledge, wisdom, and will, is present and seeing in every atom of the air, for although the infinite numbers of different words enter the miniscule ears of each atom and emerge from their infinitesmal tongues, they do not get mixed up, nor are they spoiled or confused. That is to say, because, even if all causes were to gather together, they could in no way achieve the manifestation of sacred power in the natural duties of a single atom and could in no way interfere in the wondrous art in the infinitesimal ears and tongues of all atoms, the people of misguidance and neglect have hidden them under the veil of familiarity, habit, laws, and monotony, and attaching some common name to them, have temporarily deceived themselves.

For example, as is explained in the note to the Addendum to the Four-teenth Word, if an exceptionally skilful artisan were to make a hundred pounds of foods and a hundred yards of cloth out of a small chip of wood, then someone were to say, pointing to the chip: "All these things are natural and appeared out of this by chance," thus completely disregarding all the wondrous arts and skills of the master, it would be delirious stupidity and demented misguidance. In just the same way, to ascribe to two seeds like peas such miracles of power as the pine and fig trees, which comprise thousands of wondrous arts, and say: "They came out of these;" or to attach the name "radio" to a gift of the Most Merciful which makes the globe of the atmosphere into a conference hall and the face of the earth into a schoolroom and place of instruction and knowledge, comprising uncountable bounties and requiring endless thanks, and is indubitably an advance (muaccel) [^29] sample of the divine favours to be bestowed in everlasting happiness for man — to merely use the word radio and talk of electricity and airwaves for what is directly bestowed from the treasury of mercy, thus drawing a veil of ingratitude over those innumerable bounties, is a grotesque adsurdity of the naturalists and materialists, as in the example above, which being an infinite crime, makes them deserving of infinite punishment.

My brothers! In truth, today I read the invocation at the beginning of The Shining Lamp with the intention of correcting it. Because my memory had deserted me completely, I was confronted with the invocation's truths as though I had newly come into the world at eighty years of age, unacquainted with familiarity and habit, so they did not act as veil. I read it with fervour and pleasure, and benefited enormously. I considered it quite marvellous. And I understood that our covert enemies had deceived certain
