In Short: Since plant life, the simplest and lowest level of life, is dependent to this extent on the ordering of divine determining, certainly human life, the highest level of life, has been drawn in all in its details according to the scale and measuring of divine determining and is inscribed by its pen. Yes, just as raindrops tell of clouds, and drops of water point to the existence of a water-source, and notes and portfolios to the existence of a large ledger, so too, the evident divine determining which we observe and which is the physical order in living beings indicates the notebook of divine will and creational commands known as the Clear Book. Similarly, their fruits, seeds, grains, forms, and shapes, which are like the droplets, notes, and portfolios of theoretical divine determining, which is the non-physical order and pertains to life, indicates the Preserved Tablet, one office of divine knowledge, which is called the Clear Record.

#### To Conclude

To Conclude: We see clearly that at the time of their growth and development the particles of living beings travel to their intricate extremities and halt, then they change their path. At each of the extremities they produce the fruits of benefits, uses, and instances of wisdom. Clearly, the forms of those things and their measures are drawn with a pen of determining. Thus, observable, evident determining shows that in the non-physical states of living beings also are well-ordered, fruitful extremities and limits drawn with the pen of determining. Divine power is the source, divine determining is the pattern. Power writes the meaningful book on that pattern. Since we understand clearly that the fruitful limits and purposeful extremities have been drawn with the pen of divine determining, physical and non-physical, certainly the states and stages which all living beings undergo in the course of their lives are also drawn with that pen. For their life stories follow a course with order and balance; they change forms and receive shapes. Since the pen of divine determining thus rules in all living beings, surely the life history of man, the world’s most perfect fruit and vicegerent of the earth and bearer of the Supreme Trust, is more than anything dependent on the law of divine determining.

If you ask: “Divine determining has bound us like this. It has negated our freedom. Isn’t belief in it a burden and irksome for the heart and spirit, which yearn for expansion and to roam freely?”

The Answer: Absolutely not! It is not burdensome; it rather affords a luminosity and joy producing a lightness, ease, and spirit, and ensuring confidence and security. For if man does not believe in divine determining, he is compelled to bear a burden as heavy as the world on the shoulders of his spirit within a constricted space, which allows him only an insignificant independence and temporary freedom. For man is connected with the
