show this mighty truth to be a matter that is most acceptable and rational. What is the wisdom and secret of this ease?”

T h e   A n s w e r : This matter was elucidated in a most clear, decisive and convincing fashion in the explanation of “And He is powerful over all things,” which forms the Tenth Phrase of the Twentieth Letter. And it was demonstrated even more clearly in the Addendum to that letter that when attributed to the Single Maker, all beings become as easy as a single being. If they are not attributed to that Single One of Unity, the creation of a single creature becomes as difficult as that of all beings, and a seed as problematical as a tree. When they are ascribed to their True Maker, the universe becomes as easy and trouble-free as a tree, a tree as easy as a seed, Paradise as easy as the spring, and the spring as easy as a  flower. We shall now point out briefly one or two evidences that have been explained in detail in other parts of the Risale-i  Nur  out  of  the  hundreds  which  explain  the  underlying  reasons  for  and instances  of  wisdom  in  the  conspicuous,  boundless  abundance  and  profusion  of beings, the ease of the great number of individuals in each species, and the fact that well-ordered,  artistically fashioned  and  valuable  beings  come  into  existence  with immense speed and ease.

For example, if the command of a hundred soldiers is given to one officer, it is a

hundred  times  easier  than  if  the  command  of one  soldier  is  given  to  a  hundred officers.  And if to equip an army it is assigned to one headquarters, one law, one factory and the command of one king, it quite simply becomes as easy as equipping a single soldier. In the  same way, if to equip one soldier it is referred to numerous headquarters, numerous factories and numerous commanders, it becomes as difficult as equipping an army. Because in order to equip a single soldier, it would require as many factories as are necessary for a whole army.
