Sources: Gems Of Divine Mysteries

Wert thou to consider in this station the last of them to be the first,

or conversely, thou wouldst indeed be speaking the truth, as hath been

ordained by Him Who is the Wellspring of Divinity and the Source of

Lordship: "Say: Call upon God or call upon the All-Merciful: by

whichsoever name ye will, invoke him, for He hath most excellent

names."(32) For they are all the Manifestations of the name of God, the

Dawning-Places of His attributes, the Repositories of His might, and the

Focal Points of His sovereignty, whilst God--magnified be His might and

glory--is in His Essence sanctified above all names and exalted beyond even

the loftiest attributes. Consider likewise the evidences of divine

omnipotence both in their Souls and in their human Temples, that thine

heart may be assured and that thou mayest be of them that speed through

the realms of His nearness.
