Twenty‑third window: Consider the following verse:

He created death and life. (67:2)

Life is Divine Power's most luminous and beautiful miracle. Divine Unity's most brilliant and strongest proof the most comprehensive and polished mirror reflecting the Eternally‑Besought‑of‑All. Life manifests the Ever‑Living and Self‑Subsistent One with all His Names and essential Qualities for it is a compounded light formed by the manifestations of many Divine Attributes together just as the seven colors are compounded in light and various medicinal substances in natural confections. Similarly life is a reality compounded of many Divine Attributes' manifestations causing it to have many attributes. Some of these attributes develop through senses and become distinct. Most of them. however make themselves felt through sentiments feelings and emotions and known as a result of life's "boiling."

Life also comprises providence mercy grace and wisdom which are the most substantial elements in maintaining and administering the universe. It is as if life brings them along wherever it goes. For example when life enters a body. the Name the All‑Wise also shows itself therein and builds and arranges that "nest" of life with perfect wisdom. The Names the All‑Munificent and All‑Compassionate manifest at the same instant furnish and decorate that nest in accordance with its needs and respectively bestow on it all kinds of favors to continue and perfect that life. And the Name the Provider manifests Itself by supplying life with the material and spiritual nourishment necessary for its maintenance and flourishing as well as by storing a certain amount of that nourishment in its body.

This means that life is like a focal point at which various Names or Attributes meet or rather are united into each other to form one entity. It is as if life is entirely knowledge while simultaneously being power wisdom. mercy and so on. Due to its comprehensive nature life is a mirror to the Eternally‑Besought‑of‑All that reflects the essential Qualities of the Divine Being's Essence. As a result the Necessarily Existent One the Ever‑Living and Self‑Subsistent creates and shows life in the greatest profusion. He also concentrates all things around life to make them serve it for life is entrusted with a very important duty.

It is not easy to be a mirror to God as the Eternally‑Besought‑of‑All. The innumerable new lives and spirits as well as the essences or identities of lives that we constantly witness being brought into existence instantly and from nothing show the necessary Existence sacred Attributes and Beautiful Names of the Necessarily Existent. Ever‑Living and Self‑Subsistent One just as rays of light show the sun. If you do not recognize the sun and admit its existence you have to deny the light pervading daytime. In the same way if you deny the Sun of Oneness the Ever‑Living and Self‑Subsistent the Giver of Life and the One Causing to Die you have to deny the existence of all living beings on this planet from their appearance to Earth's final destruction. You would have to admit to yourself that you are like the unconscious most ignorant beings.
