Therefore, they have said that the name "Mumit" (causer of death) constantly causes all beings to transition from additional existence to additional nonexistence, and similarly, the names "Muhyi" (giver of life) and "Mub'ith" (resurrector) cause all the worlds to emerge from additional nonexistence to additional existence at all times.

However, souls like those who are created from the clay of greed, the fire of pride, the air of ego, and the water of heedlessness, certainly cannot seek proximity to that holiest and purest abode, which has been and will always be sanctified by the knowledge of all those in the realm. If they were to approach it, they would instantly burn. What has been mentioned in the previous manifestations is repeated in this eternal revelation word for word, letter for letter. The contradiction and opposition return to their forms and examples, while unity and alliance remain for the beloved of God at the beginning and the end. O fair one, do not assume the state of being in the shadow by your words and do not consider the manifestations of the most glorious beauty as a clear contradiction!
