Although there is unity on one side, on the other there is gradation in the system of the universe. By unity is meant the united state of the universe and by gradation, its separate forms. Here we need to discuss gradation only. According to Divine will, the gradation of the body starts at the level of its density, and at the end of its subtlety it meets the soul. The example of this gradation is found in the creation of humankind. In the process of this creation, plants grow from the subtlety of the soil, from their subtlety (which are food for animals) are created the bodies of animals, from the subtlety of their meat and milk etc., is created blood in the human body, from the subtlety of blood is created the vegetative soul, from the subtlety of the vegetative soul is created the animal soul, from the dissolution of the animal soul is created the human soul and from the human soul is created the substance of intellect. It is the intellect that can meet the Divine light.
Similarly, there is gradation [or order in the unfolding] of events, inventions, discoveries, sciences and arts etc., and the exigencies of time controlled by the Divine will. That is, if someone accepts that the human status, as a whole, necessitates gradation in the Divine will, he understands that whatever wonders and marvels appear in this world, appear by the command of God. If there is the gradation of everything, there should also be the gradation of events, discoveries and inventions. It is evident from history that human beings also reached this stage by inventing things in a gradational order. However, the body is not infinite. That is, subsequent to the fission of the atom and the utilisation of its energy for numerous benefits, nothing is left to split and gain any other power. Rather, subsequent to fission, the atom is called soul and thenceforth begins the spiritual cycle. There can be many names of the spiritual cycle, according to the technical terms of every group and every stratum, but the reality is one and the same. A few initial events of this cycle are related to the five external senses. Therefore it is necessary for everyone to keep them pure from the very beginning.
