Wherefore strive until the balance of all things is properly understood from the sources. 61. Yet there is indeed a more direct arrangement in the craft, should ye be suitable for it, for the resolution is not determined without dissolving, purifying, and restoring. And this proceedeth from a truth according to which every Prophet speaketh, and when ye hath recognized the Foundation of Nature from the Source of Divinity, be ye submissive unto It according to thy pressing need. Then infuse It with the Water of Life, which is according to Its nature and the closest of all things within It and around It, until this foundation appeareth immaculately clean. Then exert a force upon the liquid producing moisture until It evaporateth from this foundation according to Its determined potential, even should this Spirit dissolve this earth completely. Then after that, prepare It in dense clouds until It intermingleth and becometh developed as a separate thing. Then condense It over a diminishing fire, and ye should complete that within the mixture and the evaporation two or more times. That is more consistent with the truth should ye execute it. Should ye be unable to exert the force of this liquid over this earth, then produce It in the evaporation until this liquid developeth immaculately clean. Then this earth shall be covered with this liquid so that the goal of that which ye seek may be attained. Then It is evaporated after the covering taketh place, for the conclusion of the covering is the beginning state of the evaporation. Then after ye condense the evaporation together, the craft of the Satellite is complete, and the divine Power of God is 34 observed clearly with the eyes, should ye acquaint thyself with that which We hath set down in the Tablet. Afterwards, It is put into operation, but verily, the knowledge must precede the craft. So beware, O Concourse of the Bayán, not to pursue this craft before ye acquire the proper knowledge which We relate unopposed to thee, and this is My counsel unto thee. Should ye seek to tread upon the Pathways of divine Truth, hearken ye unto it
