notes	"Know thou of a certainty that Love is the secret of God’s holy Dispensation, the manifestation of the All-Merciful, the fountain of spiritual outpourings. Love is heaven’s kindly light, the Holy Spirit’s eternal breath that vivifieth the human soul. Love is the cause of God’s revelation unto man, the vital bond inherent, in accordance with the divine creation, in the realities of things. Love is the one means that ensureth true felicity both in this world and the next. Love is the light that guideth in darkness, the living link that uniteth God with man, that assureth the progress of every illumined soul. Love is the most great law that ruleth this mighty and heavenly cycle, the unique power that bindeth together the divers elements of this material world, the supreme magnetic force that directeth the movements of the spheres in the celestial realms. Love revealeth with unfailing and limitless power the mysteries latent in the universe. Love is the spirit of life unto the adorned body of mankind, the establisher of true civilization in this mortal world, and the shedder of imperishable glory upon every high-aiming race and nation..." – Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, no. 12 (AB01214) "Thou hadst asked about fate, predestination and will. Fate and predestination consist in the necessary and indispensable relationships which exist in the realities of things. These relationships have been placed in the realities of existent beings through the power of creation and every incident is a consequence of the necessary relationship. For example, God hath created a relation between the sun and the terrestrial globe that the rays of the sun should shine and the soil should yield. These relationships constitute predestination, and the manifestation thereof in the plane of existence is fate. Will is that active force which controlleth these relationships and these incidents. Such is the epitome of the explanation of fate and predestination. I have no time for a detailed explanation. Ponder over this; the reality of fate, predestination and will shall be made manifest." – Selections from the Writings of 'Abdu'l-Bahá, no. 167 (AB03929) "... Now concerning nature, it is but the essential properties and the necessary relations inherent in the realities of things. And though these infinite realities are diverse in their character yet they are in the utmost harmony and closely connected together. As one’s vision is broadened and the matter observed carefully, it will be made certain that every reality is but an essential requisite of other realities. Thus to connect and harmonize these diverse and infinite realities an all-unifying Power is necessary, that every part of existent being may in perfect order discharge its own function..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Tablet to Dr. Auguste Forel (AB00020) "... the universal Manifestations of God are aware of the truths underlying the mysteries of all created things, and thus They found a religion that is based upon, and consonant with, the prevailing condition of humanity. For religion consists in the necessary relationships deriving from the realities of things. If the Manifestation of God—the divine Lawgiver—were not informed of the realities of things, if He did not understand the necessary relationships deriving from these realities, He would assuredly be incapable of establishing a religion consonant with the needs and conditions of the time. The Prophets of God, the universal Manifestations, are even as skilled physicians; the world of being is as the body of man; and the divine religions are as the treatment and remedy. The physician must be fully aware and informed of all the parts and organs, the constitution and condition of the patient, in order to prescribe an effective remedy... Religion, then, consists in the necessary relationships deriving from the reality of things. The universal Manifestations of God, being aware of the mysteries of creation, are fully informed of these necessary relationships and establish them as the religion of God." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, 40.8-9 (AB00780) "... Man is able to resist and oppose nature inasmuch as he discovers the natures of things and, by virtue of this discovery, has mastery over nature itself..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, 1.4 (AB01029) "... Man has likewise a number of spiritual powers: the power of imagination, which forms a mental image of things; thought, which reflects upon the realities of things; comprehension, which understands these realities; and memory, which retains whatever man has imagined, thought, and understood..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, 56.1-2 (AB01868) "... Through the power of the rational soul, man can discover the realities of things, comprehend their properties, and penetrate the mysteries of existence. All the sciences, branches of learning, arts, inventions, institutions, undertakings, and discoveries have resulted from the comprehension of the rational soul. These were once impenetrable secrets, hidden mysteries, and unknown realities, and the rational soul gradually discovered them and brought them out of the invisible plane into the realm of the visible..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, 58.3 (AB00747) "... Philosophy consists in comprehending, so far as human power permits, the realities of things as they are in themselves..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, Some Answered Questions, 59.7 (AB00395) "The greatest attainment in the world of humanity has ever been scientific in nature. It is the discovery of the realities of things..." – 'Abdu'l-Bahá, The Promulgation of Universal Peace, no. 110 (8 October 1912) (ABU0008) "... The law of God is the panacea for all ills because it is in accordance with the needs of the realities of creation. Legislators have devoted considerable discussion to this point. The most distinguished of them concluded that the laws must be derived from the necessary relations (ravabit-i-daruriyyih) inherent in the reality of things (haqayiq-i-ashya'). But the divine Manifestation asserted that to institute such laws is beyond human capacity, for human intelligence cannot encompass the realities of things, nor can it comprehend the essential relationships of such realities. Therefore, divine law is necessary, as it embraces the realities and penetrates all things." – Mahmúd’s Diary, p. 297, Bada'iu'l-Athar 1:278, quoted in The Loom of Reality (ABU1298) See also: Partial Inventory thematic topic list, "Essential relationships proceeding from the realities of things", under subheading "Interconnectedness and correspondence; necessary relationships", in section 1C. Metaphysics and Natural Philosophy: – Essential relationships proceeding from the realities of things – Religion defined as necessary connections proceeding from the realities of things – Nature defined as necessary connections proceeding from the realities of things – Fate defined as necessary connections proceeding from the realities of things – Love as vital bond inherent within the realities of things – True laws of society derived from necessary relationships; from reason – [see also The interconnectedness of the Teachings; the Teachings as sphere] – Natural law Nader Saiedi writes in his article The Enlightenment: From Montesquieu to Abdu’l-Baha: "[`Abdu'l-Bahá] provides the same definition for four different things – nature; religion and religious law; science; and love..." Abu'l-Qásim Faizí said in his talk on the Hidden Words on 9 December 1967: "... when you study the writings of the beloved Master, you will find one very interesting point. He has given one definition for three different things. You will find it, please. Now a definition of science, of religion and of love: It's extremely important to study this definition. This definition is given in Some Answered Questions where it says, "What is religion?" and then 'Abdu'l-Bahá defines it. The same definition is given for love and the same for science. When we bring it together in the form of discussion group, or anything else, let us discuss with each other. Why is there one definition for three different things? You will come to understand that these three things, if they are followed in their true sense of meaning and words, the three will bring you to one end. They are the same rules bringing you to the same end..."
