48. Be apprised that there are mysteries of every manner of science for this Alif through which God hath bestowed from the wonders of His grace, and by which the knowledge of all that hath been and all that shall be is determined. For instance, were ye to classify the Letters which were contained in the enigmas of this Alif as We hath related them unto thee aforetime from the four stations therein, and should ye record the outcome and afterwards divide it according to the four categories, drawing upon each category by its requirement of addition and subtraction or the amplification and regulation, such mysteries that causeth the intellect to be bewildered would appear before thee. Ye should then be able to comprehend whatsoever ye hath heard regarding the Collective Science of Jafr, and ye would 32 gain access unto the beginnings of all that is known. Would that God would allow Us to encounter a soul relative to Our purpose so that We could relate that which God hath taught Us of His grace. However, owing to what We hath encountered, We hath related unto thee according to a fixed measure, and We hath contented Ourselves therewith so as not to draw out against it every colossal tyrant.
