formance of their duties, the particles of the earth, which accompany and serve those fruits and meanings, will be included in the construction of the hereafter. That is, they will be included in it together with the débris of this world, which will be destroyed, after many times serving and receiving the light of life, and after being the means for the glorifications of animate creatures. And from this truth, the tip of a truly mighty law of justice is apparent.

And since, just as the spirit is dominant over the body, so the commands that bring things into existence, which are written by divine determining, are dominant over inanimate matter. Inanimate matter is able to assume a position and an order due to the immaterial writing of divine determining. For example, in all kinds of eggs and sperm and varieties of seeds and grains, matter acquires different ranks and lights according to the commands that bring things into existence, which are all written differently by divine determining. The matter, which is similar in regard to its substance, [^19] becomes the source of innumerable different beings. It obtains ranks and lights which are all different. Most certainly, then, it is the requirement of an all-encompassing knowledge that if a particle has been repeatedly employed in the service of life and of the dominical glorifications that are in life, the wisdom of those meanings will be recorded on the immaterial forehead of the particle by the pen of divine determining, which neglects nothing at all. And in this, the tip of a truly mighty law of all-encompassing knowledge is apparent.

[^19]:Indeed, all those sorts of seeds are compounds of the four elements; they are formed of matter like hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. Materially they may be considered to be the same; the difference between them lies only in the immaterial writing of divine determining.

#### In Short

Since this is the case, particles are not without purpose. [^20]

[^20]:This sentence is the answer to the word ‘since’ at the beginning of the preceding seven paragraphs.

In Short: A greatest name and the greatest manifestation of that greatest name is pointed to beyond the visible tips of each of the seven above-mentioned laws, that is, the law of dominicality, the law of generosity, the law of beauty, the law of mercy, the law of wisdom, the law of justice, and the law of all-encompassing knowledge, and of a great many other vast laws. It may be understood from that manifestation that, like the rest of the creatures, the transformations of particles in this world are occurring within a sensitive balance measured with knowledge, according to the commands given by divine power that bring things into existence, on the limits drawn by divine determining, for most exalted instances of wisdom.
