her God but Him. His are the kingdoms
in the heavens and on the earth and all that is between them. He is
exalted above the comprehension of all things, and is inscrutable to the
mind of every created being; none shall be able to fathom the oneness of
His Being or to unravel the nature of His Existence. No peer or likeness,
no similitude or equal can ever be joined with Him. Yield ye praise then

of His Being and magnify His might and majesty with wondrous
glorification. This will enable you to gain admittance into the
all-highest Paradise. Would that ye had firm faith in the revelation of

most comely Face.

shall make manifest.

"Consecrate Thou, O my God, the whole of this Tree ..."

Consecrate Thou, O my God, the whole of this Tree unto Him, that from it
may be revealed all the fruits created by God within it for Him through
