And if you say that the firm verses are the divine commands revealed in the tablets, there is no doubt in that; indeed, we are all certain and believers in them and hopeful of their grace. These firm verses have been firm in relation to the decree of the rulers. As it is evident, if someone becomes knowledgeable of all the firm verses but hesitates even slightly in acknowledging the greatest verse, none of his actions would bear fruit and will be in vain. And that person, whose verses have been and will be firm, says: "All expressions are like pages from the heavenly gardens compared to that naïve existence." In another place, he says: "What is revealed in the expression is conditional upon His command and is dependent on His permission and will." In another place, addressing the assembly of expression, he says: "Do not be deprived of the promised manifestation by the expression and what has been revealed therein." Numerous firm verses like these have been revealed beyond counting, and yet there are those who, despite the fact that all firm verses manifest by his will and all rivers of knowledge and expression flow from one of his fingers of will, have turned away from him and have mistakenly understood and comprehended the firm verses.
