Ninth ray

As you see the stamp of Oneness all individual things, and on the earth and the universe, you will also see it on the species of beings and distributed throughout the world on the universal elements, namely air, water and earth.

Sowing seeds in an arable land indicates that the land is under the disposal of the owner of seeds, and the seeds belong to the one who disposes of the land. Their simplicity, uniformity and comprehensiveness imply an all-encompassing knowledge and wisdom. All those universal elements, where all things are "sown", and through their amazing distribution throughout the world for certain purposes, all creatures, these fruits of Mercy, miracles of Power, and words of Wisdom are all evidence. They bear witness to the fact that the comprehensive and comprehended, and the land and the seeds sown in it, are all at the disposal of a single Maker. Every species and element testify that each belongs to the One Who owns everything. Every flower or fruit or every animal or micro-organism is a seal proclaiming, or a stamp pronouncing, or a signature declaring, in the tongue of perfect harmony and orderliness and the purposes each serves: Whose property I am, this space is also His property. Whoever has created me, has also created it. Whoever uses me as a letter, has also "written" it, and Whoever has made me a stitch, has also woven it.

Again, the One Who disposes of the least of creatures and manages the life of the weakest of beings has the supreme disposition of all of the elements. Also, the One Who employs all of the elements manages the lives of all animals and plants and holds them in His hand of Lordship. This is a stamp of Unity that anyone whose eyes are not blind and heart is not sealed, must surely see.

Now, ask yourself and try whether you can claim absolute ownership and disposal of anything in the universe. Go and listen to what every individual being says — "whoever has the absolute ownership of the species I belong to, can claim the ownership of me, otherwise not." Then go to the species. You will hear every species saying, "whoever has the absolute ownership of the earth with its surface and interior, can claim the ownership of me, otherwise not." Afterwards, go to the earth and you will hear it saying, "whoever has the absolute ownership of the whole of the universe, can claim the ownership of me, otherwise not."
