In regard to art and nature, a most wondrous being endowed with spirit; A miraculous reality which makes the tiniest creature into a universe;

A most extraordinary miracle of divine power that connects the animate creature to most beings and makes it a tiny universe as well as being the means whereby the universe is situated in a tiny animate creature and displays a sort of index of the huge universe in the creature;

A wondrous divine art that makes a tiny part the greatest whole, and makes a particular a universal or world, and shows that in regard to dominicality the universe is an indivisible whole or universal that cannot be broken into parts and which accepts no participation;

The most brilliant, the most decisive, and the most perfect of proofs testifying to the  necessary  existence  of  the  Ever-Living  and  Self-Subsistent  One;  and  among divine  artefacts  is  the  lightest  and  most                                              apparent,  and  the  most  valuable  and abundant, and the purest, most shining, and most meaningful embroidery of dominical art;

A graceful, refined, delicate manifestation of divine mercy which makes other beings serve itself;

A comprehensive mirror of the divine attributes;

A wonder of dominical creation comprising the manifestations of such numerous most  beautiful names as Merciful, Provider, Compassionate, Munificent, and All- Wise, that subjects to itself many truths like sustenance, wisdom, grace, and mercy, and is the source and origin of all the senses, like sight, hearing, and touch;

A transformation-machine in the vast workshop of the universe that continuously cleanses everywhere, purifies, allows progress, and illuminates, while living bodies, the  dwellings  of  life,  are  guesthouses,  schools,  and  barracks  for  instructing  and illuminating the caravans of  particles, enabling them to perform their duties. Quite simply the Ever-Living Self-Subsistent One makes subtle this dark, transient, lowly world, illuminates it and gives it a sort of permanence, preparing it to go to another, everlasting world;

Lifes two faces, that is, its inner and outer faces, are both shining, elevated, and

without dirt or defect. It is an exceptional creature on which apparent causes have not been  placed,  veiling  the  disposal  of  power,  in  order  to  show  clearly that  it  has emerged directly without veil or means from the hand of dominical power;

The reality of life looks to the six pillars of belief, proving them in meaning and indirectly. That is to say, it is a luminous truth which looks to and proves both the necessary existence of the Necessarily Existent One and  His  eternal  life, and  the realm of the  hereafter  and  everlasting life,  and  the existence of the angels, and the other pillars of belief.
