single letter, for example in the human heart, the works of all the divine names which are manifested in the pages of the macrocosm and encompass them, and to make written in the human faculty of memory, which is situated in a place the size of a lentil, writings enough to fill a library, and to include in that tiny faculty a detailed index of all events in the cosmos – to do all these things is most certainly a stamp particular to the Creator of All Things, the Glorious Lord and Sustainer of the universe.

Thus, if only one seal out of many dominical seals on living beings thus displays its light and makes read its signs, and you were able to see and consider all those seals at once, would you not declare: “Glory be unto Him Who is concealed in the intensity of His manifestation!”?

FOURTH FLASH

Look carefully at the multicoloured, multifarious beings swimming in the seas of the heavens and scattered over the face of the earth! You will see that on each are inimitable signatures of the Pre-Eternal Sun. Just as the stamps on life and seals on living beings are apparent and we saw one or two of them, so are there such signatures on the giving of life. Since comparisons bring profound meanings closer to the understanding, we shall employ one to demonstrate this truth.

For example, from the planets to droplets of water, to fragments of glass and sparkling snowflakes, a signature is apparent from the sun’s image and reflection, a luminous work particular to the sun. If you do not accept the tiny suns that are visible in those innumerable things to be the manifestation of the sun’s reflection, you have to accept the actual existence of a true, natural sun in every droplet and fragment of glass facing the light and in every transparent speck before it, thus descending to the depths of lunacy.

In just the same way, in regard to the giving of life from among the luminous manifestations of the Pre-Eternal Sun, such a signature is present on all living beings that supposing all causes were gathered together and had the power to act and possessed will, they still could not imitate it. For all being miracles of divine power, living beings are points of focus of the divine names, the rays of the Pre-Eternal Sun. If that strange inscription of art, that wondrous ordering of wisdom, that manifestation of the mystery of Oneness on living beings is not ascribed to the Single and Eternally Besought One, it necessitates accepting that concealed within each living creature, and even in a fly or a flower, is an infinite creative power, a knowledge encompassing all things, an absolute will with which to govern the universe, and even the eternal attributes particular to the Necessarily
