Revealing Verity
For this reason, God decided to reveal this verity, remove conflicts, and manifest truth before the eyes of all.
Yes, this force of unity, or oneness or any other name that resembles his uniqueness, has adorned the world and filled it with light: “Allah is the light of the heavens and the earth.” (An-Nur, Verse). A light that is united, absolute, and undividable is the principal element of the essence and is unable to be separated from it. Things that are seen in the universe are faces, evolutions, colors and shapes, which are manifestations of this light of essence. If differences and diversities are seen in the phenomena and the creatures, they are nothing but appearances, for this is one united and unique light. Even the very notion of one is not appropriate for it, because one is attributed to something that could become two. However, there is no such possibility for this entity, and whatever it is, it will be, and nothing exists but itself. Therefore, this is a unique existence that is singular, not one that is a part of a pair. Because pairs such as creation and spirit, visible and concealed, light and darkness, seem like dualities on the surface. Even though the structure and order of the universe revolve around theses dualities, however, these are one in essence: the creation is identical to the spirit, the essence within is identical to forms of matter, and the evolutions are identical to the divine nature. Indeed, there is nothing but unity.
