God
has made humans his assistants. He has given humans the knowledge of his
qualities. God has created humans in His own form and countenance. The meaning
of the assistant or deputy does not mean that if the emperor of the country can
dispense without using pen and paper in asserting his authority, then the
assistant is obliged to use pen and paper in asserting his authority. As God is
a ruler who is not dependent on pen and paper to assert His authority, so, too,
is His assistant. Just as God created the world by uttering the command
`Be" (KUN), so, too, His assistant can make changes in the creations of
God by using the power of his mind. For the assistant of God knows that
everything in this world is joined to one entity.

What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
