62. Be apprised then that the Foundation shall indeed develop according to this liquid, for the liquid is the key element in the operations, and from it proceedeth the Pure Oil that preventeth whatsoever is oiled by It from burning. And this proceedeth from the liquid through which God quickeneth the earth after its death and in which the circumstance of the resurrection appeareth. Some of the Wise Prophets attain self-sufficiency through this liquid with regards to the operation by which They deduce whatsoever They will from the Farthest Limit of knowledge, and this proceedeth from a concealed, authentic truth. Whosoever acknowledgeth that is amongst those whom God hath proved their heart through faith, and whom God hath taught about the Mercury and Its Mandate, and this Treasure is truly sealed with the Seal of God. Though should ye desire to put the Sun into operation by means of the Gold, then they would return unto this body from the Pure Oil which We have related unto thee aforetime and which We hath termed ‘The Gold of the People’ and ‘The Sulfur of Life’. Yet ye hath become perplexed in regards to Its function.
