128 Essence. If all of them raise the call, " I am the Seal (last) of the Prophets," it is also true and beyond reach and access of uncertainty, because all are accounted as one soul, one essence, one spirit, one body, one command, and are the Manifestors of the states of the " Beginning," the " End," the " First," the " Last," the " Manifest," the "Hidden " of that ideal Spirit of Spirits and eternal Essence of Essences. Likewise if they say, " We are the servants of God," this is also confirmed and evident, for outwardly they have appeared with the utmost degree of servitude. No one hath the courage to appear in the world with that manner of servitude. Thus those Essences of Exigence, when submerged in the seas of Eternal Holiness and when ascending to the summits of the significances of the Ideal King, uttered declarations of Unity and Deity. Were one to consider attentively he will find that even in this state they witnessed in themselves the utmost humility and lowliness in presence of the Absolute Existence and Real Life, as though accounting themselves utter non-existence and deeming their own mention in that court as polytheism. For in this station any mention would be an indication of being and existence, and this is considered a great error by the attained ones. How much greater (error) to mention aught else, or that the heart, tongue, mind and soul be occupied in any other mention than the Beloved One; that the eye should look upon other than His beauty, the ear hear other than His melody, or the feet walk in other than His path.
