Quote“If we relate our love for everything to God, and thus, if we are able to take love in its real meaning, we will then be aloof from the various things that disperses love and we will avoid associating partners with God.”

Twenty-ninth window: Consider the following verse:
There is nothing that does not glorify Him with praise. (17:44)
Once during spring. I was traveling amid thoughts and feelings of loneliness.
At a hill's base. I saw a yellow wild flower that reminded me of similar flowers
I had seen in the past in my hometown and other places. It then struck me whose
stamp that flower bore whose seal and inscription it carried. I realized with
certainty that all similar flowers on Earth's face were His stamps and seals.
This thought led to the idea that just as a letter's seal announces the one who
wrote and sent it so is that flower a seal of the All‑Merciful One. Both that
flower and hill which have been worked with such inscriptions and "lines" of
meaningful plants are letters of that flower's Maker. The hill is a seal and
the plain ahead of it is a letter of the All‑Merciful One.
These thoughts led to the following truth: Each thing being like a seal of
the Lord attributes all things to its Creator and proves that it is a letter of
its Author. Thus each thing forms such a window on Divine Unity that it submits
all things to a Single One of Unity's ownership. This is especially true of
living things each of which contains such a wonderful design and miraculous art
that the One Who makes it so and designs it so meaningfully is also the One Who
makes all things. Given this that one must be He Who has made all things. One
who cannot make everything cannot create one thing.
O you who are unaware of the reality of things look at the universe's face!
Can you deny the testimony of the pages of creatures all of which are like
innumerable letters of the Eternally‑Besought‑of‑All one within the other? Can
you deny that the seals put on them are the seals of Divine Unity? How can you
silence them? If you listen to any of them with your heart you will hear it
say: "I bear witness that there is no god but God." |
