Say: Nature in its essence is the embodiment of My Name, the
Maker, Creator. Its manifestations are diversified by varying causes, and in
this diversity there are signs for men of discernment. Nature is God's Will and
is its expression in and through the contingent world. It is a dispensation of
Providence ordained by the Ordainer, the All-Wise.
