"Wishing to reveal Thyself, Thou didst call into being the Greater and the Lesser Worlds, and didst choose Man above all Thy creatures, and didst make Him a sign of both of these worlds... Thou didst raise Him (capital letter, indicating the Perfect or Divine Man (or Manifestation)) to occupy Thy throne before all the people (small letter, indicating man, the imperfect creature) of Thy creation. Thou didst enable Him to unravel Thy mysteries, and to shine with the lights of Thine inspiration and Thy Revelation, and to manifest Thy names and Thine attributes. Through Him Thou didst adorn the preamble of the book of Thy creation, O Thou Who art the Ruler of the universe Thou hast fashioned." (Bwf 70- 1) (13:9) This explains the two lower "conditions" of existence, seen in the over- all Picture.
(13:10)
