opposite, it would be a hundredfold contradiction and an inconceivable misconception and impossibility for the most particular to become the most universal, its opposite, and the smallest to become the largest, and the most lifeless, ignorant, unconscious, and powerless to become the most capable, most percipient, and most conscious with the strongest will. That is to say, it is self-evidently a manifestation of pre-eternal power. The meaning of the following Hadith depicts fully that manifestation in the globe of the air. It is like this:

There is an angel with forty thousand heads in each of which are forty thousand tongues, and each tongue utters forty thousand glorifications. The angel utters sixty-four trillion glorifications at the same time. That is to say, the globe of the air resembles the angel; "good words" to the number of the angel's glorifications are inscribed on the page of the air. The globe of the air declares: "This Hadith describes me or the angel who is appointed to supervise me, for to utter all the speech of men and all the other sounds, without confusing them although they are all mixed up, with all the sounds, accents, and idioms of all the speakers with their distinctive voices shows that it is in no way possible to ascribe this task, which every single atom of air performs with universal consciousness, to either myself, that is, to the globe of the air, or to any causes. It is, therefore, the manifestation of a pre-eternal power which is all-present and all-seeing everywhere through the manifestation of oneness, and comprises comprehensive will and all-embracing knowledge. And one of the millions of witnesses to this is the radio."

Humanly inspired philosophy draws the veil of the commonplace over the truly wondrous miracles of mercy and divine power. It neither sees nor shows the evidences of divine unity beneath those commonplace matters and the wondrous bounties they contain. But it sees particular freaks which have deviated from the norm and accords them importance. For example, it does not notice the miracles of power in the creation of the human being and it attaches no importance to them. But it is filled with amazement at a two-headed man or three-legged freak who opposes the natural laws, and holds him up as a spectacle with much ado. It conceals the universal, general miracles within the veils of the laws, and it exhibits for examination particular matters that have deviated from the laws and from their own species. And for example, the followers of human philosophy consider unimportant and ordinary the quite extraordinary and miraculous sustenance of the young of animals and humans, and then create a furore in America, as
