Then look into the numbers, as you witness in the geometry counts, for example, this "Alif." If you immerse it in the oceans of the tens, the "Alif" appears in its form by the visitation of the dot, and from it emerges the "Ya," for its number is ten, as you count in arithmetic. Likewise, if it ascends to the heaven of hundreds, the "Alif" itself appears with the addition of two dots, then you have the letter "Qaf" at that moment. So, look, and so it ascends until it reaches the end of the numbers, then the letter "Alif" appears in the rank of the fourth with the addition of dots, and the number one thousand appears, and with that you have the letter "Ghain," so bear witness.

Therefore, bear witness to how the traces of Oneness run in the domain of letters; you witness in the horizons of possibilities and the selves of the intellects that there is no god but He, and to Him, all return. When this "Alif" witnessed itself in the first and last of the letters, it testified within itself, in the tongue of its secret, that it is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and with all that, they affirm the Oneness of their Creator, and before Him, they prostrate. In that station, all the letters confirm this "Alif," and likewise, this "Alif" manifests itself upon the letters, if you are searching in the satisfaction of Oneness. At the time when the "Alif" becomes, the letter "Ba" confirms it, and so do you in the opposite way, so bear witness.
