Twenty-sixth window[5]: The
beauties and comeliness observed in creatures in the universe appear for a fixed
period and then are renewed and refreshed after they disappear. This shows that
they are reflections of an Eternal Beauty's manifestations. Just as sparkling
troops of bubbles on a river's surface show that the bubbles are mirrors of a
perpetual sun's rays, the rays of beauty glittering on creatures traveling in
the flowing river of time point to and are the signs of a Permanent Beauty.
The earnest love inherent in the universe's heart also shows a Never‑Ending
Beloved One. As something that does not exist in a tree's nature has no place in
its fruits, the solemn, transcendent love existing in humanity, the Tree of
Creation's most sensitive and delicate fruit, shows that the universe contains
true love, though in different forms and of different kinds. Such a true love in
the universe's heart shows an Eternal, Beloved One.
The attractiveness, attractions, and attachments manifesting themselves in
the universe's bosom show all alert and aware hearts that they issue from the
attractiveness of an attractive, eternal truth. In addition, saintly people and
those who can unveil hidden truths in creation, who form the most sensitive and
enlightened group of beings, unanimously report that they receive an
All‑Beautiful One of Majesty's manifestations and are aware, through their
illuminations and visions, that the Majestic Beautiful One makes Himself known
and loved. This testifies to the existence of a Necessarily Existent One, a
Beautiful One of Majesty, and to His making Himself known by human beings. Also,
the pen of beautification and decoration shows the beauty of the Names of that
pen's Owner by working on the face of the universe and creatures.
Thus the universe, through the beauty on its face, the love in its heart, the
attraction in its bosom, the illumination and vision in its eyes, and its
pervasive decoration and loveliness, opens a pleasant, clear window. To
intellects and hearts, and to those who are alert and awake, it displays a
Beautiful One of Majesty, a Never‑Ending Beloved One, an Eternal Object of
Worship—all of Whose Names are Beautiful.
So, O heedless one struggling in the darkness of materialism and illusions,
in suffocating doubts and conjectures, come to your senses! Ascend in a way
befitting humanity and look through these openings. See the grace and beauty of
Oneness, obtain perfect belief, and be a true human being.
