Eleventh window: Consider the following verse:
Beware only in the remembrance of God do hearts find rest. (13:28)
Only through recognizing their One Creator can all spirits and hearts be
delivered from the distress and confusion of misguidance and from the spiritual
pains arising from that distress. Attributing all beings to a Maker of Unity
allows them to find rest in the remembrance of One God. As proved in The
Twenty‑second Word if a single being did not create the innumerable creatures
of creation one thing must be ascribed to numberless causes. If this is the
case it becomes practically impossible to explain the existence of a single
thing. Consider this: If one soldier is commanded by 100 officers. 100
difficulties will arise. But if 100 soldiers are commanded by one officer they
will be as easy to command as one soldier. This also is true in the case of
creation for creating one thing by multiple causes would face as many problems
as there are causes. Given this belief in the Creator's Unity and God's
Knowledge will deliver us from the endless distress arising from the curiosity
and desire to find the truth inherent in our nature.
Unbelief and associating partners with God engenders so many difficulties and
pains that they clearly cannot contain any truth. In contrast we see how easily
things and beings come into existence in great variety and multiplicity and yet
with utmost beauty and artistry. This ease of creation can be explained only by
ascribing all of creation to One God. As there is infinite ease in the way of
believing in One God it is certainly necessary and the truth itself. See how
dark and distressing is the way of misguidance. Why do you take it when you can
see how easy and pleasant is the way of belief and affirming Divine Unity? Take
that way and be delivered. |
