That the many kinds of entities in the universe are gathered around man with purpose and foresight, and hasten to provide all his needs with perfect orderliness and grace-plainly, this situation requires explanation. A third possibility is that help to man reaches him through the recognition of One Absolutely Powerful, behind the veil of the visible universe. In other words, it is not that the different entities in the universe recognize man, but that their doing so is an evidence that One, All-Knowing and Compassionate, is acquainted with him and recognizes him. He teaches you that He knows you through His Mercy. Then, know Him also and reverently show that you do.
Mercy requires total and sincere gratitude, an honest and ardent reverence.
Without doubt, such Mercy requires total and sincere gratitude, an honest and ardent reverence. Make it the means of an admission to His Mercy, an intercessor and advocate at the Court of the All-Merciful. The Gracious All-Merciful One submits to the service of life the sun and moon, elements and minerals, and plants and animals like the warp and weft of a vast tapestry woven from the light of His thousand and one Names. He demonstrates His Compassion in the self-sacrifice, the extraordinary sweetness of compassion, of motherhood in plants and animals. Also He subjects all animate life to man and thereby shows man s importance, his being the finest, loveliest weave from the Divine Lordship.
