I n  S h o r t : Life is a shining seal of divine unity on the face of the universe; and in respect of life all beings with spirits are stamps of divine oneness; and  the   embroideries  and  art  in  every  living  being  form  a  seal  of  eternal besoughtedness;  and  living  creatures  set  their  signatures  with  their  lives  on  the missive of the universe in  the name of the Ever-Living and Self-Subsistent One to their number, and are seals of divine unity, stamps of divine oneness, and signets of divine eternal besoughtedness. Similarly, just as all living beings are seals of divine unity in this book of the universe, like life; so a seal of divine oneness has been placed of the faces and features of each.

Furthermore, just as life forms signatures and seals testifying to the unity of the Ever-Living and Self-Subsistent One to the number of its particulars and of animate beings, the act of raising and restoring to life also puts signatures to divine unity to the number of  beings.  For example, the raising to  life of the earth, which is a single individual, testifies to divine unit y as brilliantly as the sun. For in the raising to life of the earth in spring,  three  hundred  thousand  species  and  the species’  innumerable individual members are restored to life one within the other, without fault or defect, in perfect, regular order. The one who  performs a single act such as that together with innumerable other orderly acts must surely be the Creator of all beings and the Ever- Living and  Self-Subsistent  One,  and  the  Single  One  of Unity any partnership  in whose dominicality is impossible.

For now, this small number of life’s properties has been described briefly, and we refer the explanation and detailed discussion of its other properties to the Risale-i Nur and to another time.
