"Know that proceeding (lit. dependence) is of two kinds:... through emanation, and... through manifestation. The proceeding... through manifestation is the manifestation of the reality of a thing" (in this case, of Deity) "in other forms: like the coming forth of this tree from the seed of the tree, or the coming forth of the flower from the seed of the flower; for it is the seed itself which appears in the form of the branches, leaves and flowers. This is called the proceeding through manifestation." (Saq 239- 40) (11:2)
