"The connection between God and the creatures is that of the creator to the creation; it is like the connection between the sun and the dark bodies of contingent beings, and is the connection between the maker and the things... he has made." "Such an existence is a contingent and not an absolute existence, inasmuch as... (it) is preceded by a cause." "The dependence... is a dependence of emanation... The relation is that of emanation... The light of the sun emanates from the sun,... the globe of the sun does not become divided and does not descend to the earth... (Thus) all creatures emanate from God;... it is by God that all things are realized" (made real), "and by Him that all beings have attained to existence." "Through Him all things live, move, and have their being." (Bwf 315; Gl 157; Bwf 315; Iqan 34)
