THE THIRD POINT

Which alludes to the Third of the Six Lights of the Greatest Name,

The Divine Name Sapient

Invite [all] to the way of your Sustainer with wisdom.(16:125)

[One manifestation of the divine name Sapient, which  is a greatest name or one of the six lights of the greatest name, and a fine point of the above verse, appeared to me in the month of Ramadan while in Eskişehir Prison. This Third Point consists of five matters, and forms only an allusion to it. It was written in haste and has remained in its original form.]

FIRST MATTER

As is indicated in the Tenth Word, the greatest manifestation of the divine name of  Sapient has made the universe like a book in every page of which hundreds of books have  been written, and in every line of which hundreds of pages have been included, and in  every  word of which are hundreds of lines, and in each letter of which are a hundred words, and in every point of which is found a short index of the book. The book’s pages and lines  down to the very points show its Inscriber and Writer with such clarity that that book of  the universe testifies to and proves the existence  and  unity  of  its  Scribe  to  a  degree  far  greater  than  it  shows  its  own existence. For if a single letter shows its own existence to  the  extent of a letter, it shows its Scribe to the extent of a line.

Yes, one page of this mighty book is the face of the earth. Books to the number of the plant and animal species are to be observed on this page in the spring, one within the other, together, at the same time, without error, in the most perfect form.

A single line of the page is a garden. We see that written on this line are well- composed odes to the number of flowers, trees, and animals, together, one within the other, without error.

One word of the line is a tree which has opened its blossom and put forth its leaves in order to produce its fruit. This word consists of meaningful passages lauding and   praising  the   All-Glorious   Sapient   One   to   the  number  of  orderly,   well- proportioned, adorned leaves, flowers, and fruits. It is as though like all trees, this tree is a well-composed ode singing the praises of its Inscriber.
