And there are numerous traditions and narrations proving this point, which I have not mentioned for the sake of brevity. Indeed, all that is in the heavens and the earth are venues for the manifestation of divine attributes and names. As in each atom, the effects of the manifestation of that True Sun are clear and visible, as if without its manifestation in the physical world, nothing would be honored with the robe of existence or endowed with being. Consider the suns of knowledge that are concealed in an atom, and the oceans of wisdom that are hidden in a droplet.

Especially human beings, among all creatures, have been distinguished with this garment and honored with this nobility. Indeed, all divine names and attributes are manifested in human beings in the most perfect and noblest way, and all these names and attributes relate to them. This is why it is said, "Man is My mystery, and I am his mystery." And numerous verses that subtly and delicately allude to this exquisite point are recorded and mentioned in all heavenly books and divine scriptures. As He says: "We will show them Our signs in the horizons and within themselves." And in another place He says: "And in yourselves, then will you not see?" And in another place He says: "And do not be like those who forgot Allah, so He made them forget their own selves." As the Sultan of eternity, may my soul be sacrificed for him in the pavilion of the unseen, says: "He who knows himself knows his Lord."
