As preordained by the Fountainhead of Creation, the temple
of the world hath been fashioned after the image and likeness of the human
body. In fact each mirroreth forth the image of the other, wert thou but to
observe with discerning eyes. By this is meant that even as the human body in
this world which is outwardly composed of different limbs and organs, is in
reality a closely integrated, coherent entity, similarly the structure of the
physical world is like unto a single being whose limbs and members are
inseparably linked together.

vol. I, Huququ’llah)
