not sink into the earth, and because it does not rain fire
from the sky! What else could they want? Would not this
suffice as a recompense for their prayers?”
Let’s come to the point:
As you have not come out of nonexistence to this world of
existence by yourself, so you cannot go there by yourself. The
eyes with which you see, the ears with which you hear, the
organs with which you perceive, the intellect with which you
think, the hands and feet which you use, all the roads you will
pass, all the places you will be, in short, all the members and

ta’âlâ is free from needing you; He needs none of you. As
for you, in order that you might exist and keep on existing
and in everything you do, you always need Him.”
He sends light and heat by means of the sun. He makes the
moon reflect waves of light. Out of black soil, He creates many
vivid-coloured, sweet-scented flowers and beautiful
appearance. From the breeze, He pours out the breath which
gives relief to hearts. From the stars that are at a distance of
many years’ way, He makes it rain haloes on the earth, out of
which you came about and under which you will be buried in the
end. Through many vibrations, He creates effectivity in
