The universal wisdom in the order of the universe, the perfect favour in its adornment,

the all-encompassing mercy in the grace bestowed in it, the sustenance and provisions nurturing its beings,

through its manifesting the essential attributes of its Creator, the wondrous life and art it displays,

the intended beauties of its embellishment,

despite its transience, the constant manifestation of reflected beauty within it, the true love in its heart for the One it worships,

the attraction evident in its ecstasy,

the agreement of all perfected ones in it concerning its Creator’s unity, the benefits followed in all its parts,

its results achieved through wise planning, the generous nurturing of its living beings,

the perfect order in the changes undergone by its chief elements, the vast aims followed in the order of its totality,

its instantaneous creation with utterly perfect art, without need for either time or matter,

the wise individualities given to its beings, hesitant amid limitless possibilities,

the numerous, various needs of its beings being met at the most appropriate times in  unexpected  ways,  together  with  their  smallest  wishes,  which  they themselves cannot answer,

the absolute strength manifested in its weakness, the absolute power manifested in its impotence, the life apparent in its lifelessness,

the encompassing consciousness apparent in its ignorance,

the perfect order within its changes, necessitating the existence of another who is unchanging,

its glorifications like concentric circles centred on one point,

the acceptance of its three sorts of supplications, offered through the tongue of latent ability, the tongue of innate need, and the tongue of exigency,

the invocations, and witnessings, and effulgences in its worship, the order in its determining,

the peace found in the remembrance of its Creator,
