Sixth gleam: Just as the All‑Majestic Creator has placed the stamp of His Unity on His creatures’ foreheads, He has placed in a most visible fashion many stamps of His Unity on all species, numerous seals of His Unity on all kingdoms of beings, and various signatures of His Oneness on the whole world. Out of these let’s look at one placed on Earth’s face in spring. This stamp of Divine Unity is as evident and brilliant as spring, during which the Eternal Designer resurrects countless plant and animal species with complete differentiation and specification, and perfect orderliness and separation amid infinite intermingling and confusion.

Is it so hard to perceive that raising dead soil to life in spring, showing with perfect order countless samples of resurrection, and writing on Earth’s page the individual members of countless species without fault or forgetting, mistake or deficiency, and in a most well‑balanced and well‑proportioned, well‑ordered and perfect fashion, is a seal unique to One of Majesty, an All‑Powerful One of Perfection, an All‑Wise One of Grace and Beauty, One Who has infinite Power, all‑encompassing Knowledge, and a Will able to govern the universe? Look upon the signs and imprints of God's Mercy, how He revives Earth after its death. He will revive the dead [in the same way]. He is powerful over all things.·(30:50)

Resurrecting the dead is such a simple matter for the Creative Power that, within a few days, gives countless examples of this by quickening Earth. For example, is it proper to ask a miracle‑working one who, at a sign, raises up Mount Ararat if he can remove a huge rock blocking your way? In the same way, is it proper to say (in a manner implying doubt) to an All‑Wise and Powerful One, an All‑Munificent and Compassionate One, Who created the firmaments, Earth and the mountains in “6 days” and continuously fills and empties them: “Can you remove this layer of soil over us that is blocking our way to Your banquet prepared and laid out in eternity? Can you level it and let us pass across it?”

Surely you have seen a stamp of Divine Unity on Earth’s face during summer. A seal of Divine Oneness is clearly seen in the most wise, insightful, and mighty Divine operations on Earth’s face during spring. This activity is absolutely extensive, speedy, liberal or generous, and done in absolute orderliness. A most perfect beauty of art, it is done in a most perfect form of creation. Thus only One with infinite knowledge and boundless power could own such a seal. That seal belongs to One Who, although nowhere, is all‑present and all‑seeing. Nothing is hidden from or difficult for Him. With respect to His Power, particles and stars are equal.

Once in a garden of the All‑Compassionate One of Grace’s munificence, I counted bunches (of grapes) hanging from a grapevine that was two‑fingers thick. I saw it to be like one little pip among the “bunches” of His miracles. There were 155 bunches, and one bunch contained about 120 grapes. I thought: If this grape vine were a tap from which honeyed water flowed ceaselessly, only then would the water be enough, in this heat, for the bunches on which hang those hundreds of little “pumps” of mercy’s sherbet. But this grapevine manages with only a little moisture, which it occasionally obtains. Therefore the One Who does this must be powerful over all things. Glory be to Him at whose work minds are bewildered.
