| The concept that there is only one God, without peer or
likeness: 'It is clearly established and evident to thee that the divine
Essence is highly exalted above all comparison and likeness and that
His inmost Reality is sanctified from any peer or partner. This is the
station of true unity and of veritable singleness.'9 |
| 'He is the true believer in Divine unity who, far from confusing
duality with oneness, refuseth to allow any notion of multiplicity to
becloud his conception of the singleness of God, who will regard the
Divine being as One Who, by His very nature, transcendeth the
limitations of numbers. The essence of belief in Divine unity consisteth
in regarding Him Who is the Manifestation of God and Him Who is the
invisible, the inaccessible, the unknowable Essence as one and the
same. By this is meant that whatever pertaineth to the former, all His
acts and doings, whatever He ordaineth or forbiddeth, should be
considered, in all their aspects, and under all circumstances, and
without any reservation, as identical with the Will of God Himself. This
is the loftiest station to which a true believer in the unity of God can
ever hope to attain.'10 |
