"Behold Me, not with your eyes but with Mine. Thus admonisheth you He Who is the Gracious, the All- Knowing." (Gl 90- 1) (5:7) "Enter thou My presence, that thou mayest behold what the eye of the universe hath never beheld, and hear that which the ear of the whole creation hath never heard, that haply thou mayest free thyself from the mire of vague fancies, and set thy face towards the Most Sublime Station." (Esw 130) (5:8) "After passing through the valley of knowledge, which is the last plane of limitation, the wayfarer cometh to the Valley of Unity and... with the eye of God, he beholdeth the mysteries of divine creation." (7 Val 17) (5:9) "Were you to ponder,... you would surely find the portals of understanding unlocked before your face, and would behold all knowledge and the mysteries thereof unveiled before your eyes." (Iqan 52) (5:10) "Then will the manifold favors and outpouring grace of the Holy and everlasting Spirit confer such new life upon the seeker that he will find himself endowed with a new eye, a new ear, a new heart, and a new mind. He will contemplate the manifest signs of the universe, and will penetrate the hidden mysteries of the soul. Gazing with the eye of God, he will perceive within every atom a door that leadeth to the stations of absolute certitude." (Bwf 107) (5:11) "With fixed and steady gaze, born of the unerring eye of God, scan for a while the horizon of divine knowledge, and contemplate those words of perfection which the Eternal hath revealed, that haply the mysteries of divine wisdom, hidden ere now beneath the veil of glory..., may be made manifest unto you." (Iqan 16- 17)
