58. Say: By God O People! This is indeed a servant who wisheth nothing for Himself, nor doth He seek assistance from anyone in the whole dominion, save from God alone. This is that which the Tongue of Oneness doth testify within the hidden and imperceptible Tabernacle. 59. Say: This is indeed the Lamp which the Niche doth not entreat, nor is It influenced by the Fire, for He seeketh not to be illuminated by aught save God, the Single, the Mighty, the Supreme, the Self Subsisting. Show gratitude, therefore, unto God thy Creator, for that which hath been unveiled unto thee of the mysteries from this comprehensive and circumscribed Pen. That was indeed confined according to Its set boundaries, but God hath caused what is not confined, nor limited to It, to flow from It. Wherefore, observe the mysteries of Singleness in this New Creation which proceedeth from the knowledge that God hath taught My pen. This is indeed the essential truth. Verily, the heavens of knowledge are folded up in His right hand and the land of wisdom is established by His leave, and all seeketh to be enlightened about the wonders of His knowledge.
