In exactly the same way,  in so far as they are connected  to the power of the Single Eternally Besoughted One, all things exist for everything. The absence of such a relation results for all things in external non-existences to the number of things.

So see from this Sign the vastness of the lights of belief (îmân) and the terrifying darkness of misguidance. That is, belief is the mark of the elevated truth described in this Sign; and it may be benefited from through belief. In the absence of belief, just as for someone who is blind, deaf, dumb, and stupid everything is non-existent, so is everything non-existent and dark for one without belief.

S e c o n d  P o i n t :  The world and all things have three faces:

The First Face looks to the divine names and is their mirror. Death, separation, and  non-existence  cannot  intrude  on  this  face;  it  rather  manifests  renewal  and remaking afresh.

The Second Face looks to the hereafter and gazes upon the World of Eternity; it is its arable field. Here, enduring fruits and produce are raised. It serves eternit y and makes ephemeral things as though eternal.  On this face too there is no death and decline, but the manifestations of life and eternity.

The Third Face looks to transient beings, that is, to us. It is the beloved of ephemeral beings and those who follow the caprices of their souls; the place of trade for the conscious; the arena of trial and examination for those charged with duties. Thus, the salve and cure for the pains and wounds of the transience and decline, the death and extinction, on this third face, are the manifestations of life and eternity in its inner face.

I n  S h o r t : This flood of beings, these travelling creatures, are roving mirrors and ever-changing places of manifestation for the renewal of the Necessarily Existent One’s lights of creation and existence.
