"Consider the human eye. Though it hath the faculty of
perceiving all created things, yet the slightest impediment may
so obstruct its vision as to deprive it of the power of discerning
any object whatsoever. Magnified be the name of Him Who hath
created, and is the Cause of, these causes, Who
hath ordained that every change and variation in the world
of being be made dependent upon them. Every created thing in
the whole universe is but a door leading into His knowledge,
a sign of His sovereignty, a revelation of His names, a symbol
of His majesty, a token of His power, a means of admittance
into His straight Path.... "
