All these fruits and the seeds within them are miracles of dominical wisdom, wonders of divine art, gifts of divine mercy, material proofs of divine unity, bearers of the good news that divine favours will be granted in the hereafter. Just as they are all truthful witnesses to His all-embracing power and knowledge, so each of them is a mirror confirming His unity in all the corners of the world of multiplicity and in all the parts of the world of this tree, a world that has become multiple.
They turn the gaze from multiplicity to unity. Each of them says through the tongue of its being: “Don’t let your gaze wander over all this mighty spreading tree lest you become distracted, for the whole tree is within us. Its multiplicity is contained within our unity.”
Even, as the heart of the fruit, every seed is a physical mirror confirming divine unity. So too it recites in the silent prayer of its heart, the divine names the mighty tree recites in its audible prayer.
Furthermore, just as the fruits and seeds are mirrors professing divine unity, so they are the visible signs of divine determining and embodied tokens of divine power. With these words, divine determining and power intimate the following:
“The many branches and twigs of this tree appeared from a single seed and demonstrate the unity of the tree’s Artist in creating it and giving it form. Then, after growing and spreading its branches, it gathered together all its truths in a single fruit; it encapsulated its entire meaning in a single seed, thereby demonstrating the wisdom in the Glorious Creator’s creation and planning.”
Similarly, the tree of the universe takes its existence from a source of unity and is sustained by it. And man, the fruit of the universe, demonstrates unity within this multiplicity of beings, while with the eye of belief his heart sees the mystery of unity within multiplicity.
Moreover, the fruits and seeds are allusions of dominical wisdom. Wisdom says the following with them to those who are aware: “The comprehensive regard towards this tree and its planning look with their comprehensiveness and universality to a single fruit. For the fruit is a miniature specimen of the tree. It is what is aimed at by the tree. Also, the comprehensive regard and planning look to all the seeds within the fruit, for each seed bears the meaning or index of the whole tree. That is to say, since the fruit is the aim the tree’s existence and the purpose of its creation, the One Who plans the tree regards each fruit with all His names connected to the planning. Moreover, the mighty tree is sometimes pruned and trimmed for the sake of the tiny fruit; some parts of it are destroyed so that it may make new growth. It is grafted in order to produce even better, permanent fruit.”
