The assistance of the Blessed Beauty brings about
extraordinary things. Every act of the Blessed Beauty constitutes in itself a
consummate proof. In one of my early writings I wrote that in the eyes of the
possessors of insight the doings of Him Who is the Sovereign Truth have no
equal. For instance, if the Blessed Beauty asked after someone's health,
although outwardly a common expression, it could give to a person who was
perceptive hints as to the wisdom and mystery hidden in the words spoken on
that occasion. Thus it is that God in all His actions is distinct from all
others, just as a wise man displays in all his actions the signs of wisdom.
