That is to say, the sacred meanings arising from bestowing the right of existence and the right of life on everything, from protecting existence and life from aggressors, and from arresting and restraining those ghastly creatures from their aggression; and that arise especially from the judgement of men and jinn at the Great Gathering in the realm of the hereafter. And besides this, the sacred meanings arising from the greatest manifestation of justice and wisdom that is apparent in animate creatures.
Thus, as may be seen from these three examples, just as a great many degrees of loveliness, beauty, grace, and perfection are present in each of the thousand and one Divine Names, there are also a great many degrees of love, pride, glory, and grandeur.
It is because of this that the elevated and authoritative saints who manifested the Name of Loving One said: "Love is the very leaven of the universe. It is through love that all beings are in motion. It is from love that the laws of attraction, affinity, and ecstasy present in all beings spring." One of them wrote the following:
The firmament is intoxicated, the angels and the stars are intoxicated,
The heavens are intoxicated, the moon and the earth are intoxicated,
The elements are intoxicated, the plants, the trees and mankind are intoxicated,
Animate creatures are all intoxicated,
All the particles of all beings are altogether intoxicated, and yet more intoxicated.
That is to say, everything receives the manifestation of Divine love and is intoxicated in accordance with its disposition. It is well-known that every heart has affection for someone who bestows kindnesses on it, and that it loves true perfection and is enamoured of noble beauty. And the heart loves even more one who bestows kindnesses, not only on itself, but also on those it itself loves and feels compassion for.
And so, as we explained before, may it not be understood from the following just how deserving of love and passion is the All-Beauteous and Glorious One, the All-Perfect Beloved One, and how intoxicated and giddy is the whole universe with love of Him? For He is named with a thousand Names each of which is the source of thousands of perfections and the means for thousands of degrees of beauty. And in each Name are thousands of treasuries containing bounties and He makes all those beings we love happy through His bounties.
It is because of this mystery that the saints who manifested the Name of Loving One stated: "We do not want Paradise. One flash of the Divine love will suffice us for ever."
And it is also because of this that as is recorded in the Hadith: "A minute's vision of the Divine beauteousness in Paradise will far surpass all its other delights."
