T h e  F i r s t : We have demonstrated with certain proofs, briefly at the end of the Tenth and Twenty-Ninth Words and in detail at the end of the Twentieth Letter, that in relation to the power of the Single and Unique One, the creation of the greatest thing is as easy as the smallest. It administers a large tree as comfortably as a small fruit. Whereas if referred  to numerous causes, each fruit becomes as difficult and expensive as a tree, and a flower as difficult and troublesome as the spring.

Yes, if the equipment of an army is made on the orders of a single commander in a single factory, it is as easy as making the equipment of a single soldier, whereas if the  equipment  of  all  the  soldiers  is  made  in  different  factories  and  the  army’s administration passes from  a single officer to many, then each soldier will require factories to the number of the army’s soldiers. In just the same way, if everything is ascribed to the Single and Unique One, the innumerable members of an entire species become as easy as a single member. While if  attributed to causes each becomes as difficult as the whole species.

Yes, both unity and singleness come about through everything being connected with the One of Unit y, and through reliance on Him. And this reliance and connection may become a boundless power and strength for the thing. Through the strength of the reliance  and  connection,  that  small  thing  may  perform  works  far  exceeding  its individual strength, and produce results. While something very powerful that does not rely on the Single Unique One and is not connected to Him can perform small works in accordance with its individual strength, and the results diminish accordingly.

For example, a strong, bold man who is not a regular soldier is compelled to carry his own  ammunition and provisions himself, and so can hold out only temporarily against  ten  enemy.  For  his  individual  strength  is  limited.  But  a  soldier  who  by belonging to the army is connected to and relies on the commander-in-chief, is not compelled to carry his  own  sources of strength and provisions; his connection and reliance  become  an  inexhaustible  strength  for  him,  like  a  treasury.  Through  the strength of his connection, he  may capture a field marshal of the defeated enemy army, together with thousands of others.
