is indicated, a manifestation is decreed, and certain limitations are assigned. Each one is named by a certain name, characterized by a quality and appointed to a new Cause and Law; as it is said: "These are the Messengers; We have preferred some of them before others: Some of them hath God spoken unto, and hath exalted the degree of others of them. And we gave unto Jesus, the Son of Mary, manifest signs and strengthened Him with the Holy Spirit" (K. S.2).
It is due to the variance of these stations and conditions that different words and explanations appear from those Fountains of Divine Knowledge, but in reality all the intricate Divine subjects are regarded as one utterance by the knowing. As most of the people are not acquainted with the mentioned conditions, they are troubled and confounded by the different words of those united Temples.
To be brief: It is evident that all these differences of words are due to the differences of stations. Therefore in the station of Oneness and rank of Singleness, pure Sublimity, Divinity, Unity and absolute Deity have been and are applied to those Essences of Existence, because they are all seated upon the throne of the "Manifestation of God," and established upon the seat of the " Botoon[1] of God " that is, the appearance of God is made manifest by their appearance and the beauty of God is revealed by their beauty.
