Sayin “Almighty God is One, He has no partner or like. This universe is His.”VS.

True affirmation of Divine unity through seeing on everything the stamp of His power,

the inscriptions of His pen, and to open a window directly onto His light from everything

and to confirm and believe with almost the certainty of seeing it that everything emerges from the hand of His power.

The stronger this affirmation is , the stronger will be one’s lasting awareness of the Divine presence.
