If one hears from the collective manifestations: "Verily, I am God", it is true and there is no doubt in it. As was frequently demonstrated, the appearance of God, the name of God, and the attributes of God manifest themselves on Earth through them. As it is said: "And you did not throw when you threw, but it was God who threw." and also "Verily, those who pledge allegiance to you are indeed pledging allegiance to God." 

And if they raise the song of "Verily, I am the messenger of God", this too is true and there is no doubt in it. As it is said: "Muhammad is not the father of any of your men, but he is the messenger of God." At this stage, they are all sent from that ultimate, eternal Sovereign. 

And if they all raise the call of "I am the Seal of the Prophets", that too is true and there is no room for skepticism, for they all carry the decree of the same entity, the same breath, the same spirit, the same body, and the same order. They all manifest the primacy, seal, firstness, lastness, outwardness, and inwardness of that ultimate Spirit of spirits and the essence of essences from eternity. 

Similarly, if they say: "We are the servants of God", this too is established and evident. For they appear in the utmost rank of servitude, and it is not fitting for anyone to manifest such servitude. It is from this gem of existence, in the stage of immersion in the oceans of sanctity and ascension to the degrees of the meanings of the ultimate Sovereign, that the remembrance of Lordship and Divinity appears. If observed correctly, they see themselves in this stage as utterly nonexistent and annihilated in contrast to the absolute existence and pure perpetuity, considering themselves as utterly non-existent and their mention as polytheistic in that arena. For the absolute mention at this stage is the evidence of existence and being, and this is a great error according to those who have reached, let alone the mention of the other, or that the heart, tongue, soul, and life be occupied with anything other than the remembrance of the Beloved, or the eye observe anything other than His beauty, or the ear hear anything other than His melody, or the foot walk any path other than His.
