officials, and making a pretext of the end part of The Shining Lamp, had seized it, but in fact they were trying to prevent the spread of the Invocation at the beginning of it. That is, the Invocation is a reason for the irreligious attacking The Shining Lamp, just as with "A Point About the Air" in A Guide for Youth.

The results concerning people at large may be compared with this.

The Enduring One, He is the Enduring One!

Your ill brother who is in need of your prayers,

A proof that the manifestation of divine power is direct and without veil in light, as it is in life and existence, is that the tiny amount of air and nonphysical light in this small machine hears and speaks not only the words of the Mevlid, but also, at the same time, thousands or even millions of words. For it may hear and relate to us all the different words broadcast by thousands of radio stations, the same as it does the words we are hearing now. That is to say, the most particular becomes the most universal. Moreover, that tiny piece of air performs tasks as great as the globe of the air; it grows to the size of the atmosphere. If this is not ascribed to the manifestation of pre-eternal power, it becomes a contradiction so delusory as to surpass all imagination. Since it is precluded for something to be transformed into its
