72 That these worlds came to be without this might? If you accept Him to be the Creator, Then why do you consider Him powerless? Pray say it plainly yourself with fairness That are these the traits worthy of God That He cannot create a single soul Nor a single atom has manifested through Him (10) Nor can His Godhead last without them Nor can He exercise His strength without them That they be all veiled and hidden from His Eyes That He may not even know their total count? God forbid, it is all false supposition, He cannot be God Who is without power. If a soul gets forgotten by Him, Then his world would all go to waste. O dear ones! This is not accepted at all God is He Who is the Nourisher of all the worlds. (15) Pray utter not such a thing from the mouth; You make an error pray take hold of your senses. If each atom can manifest itself without Him, Then how can He be the Master of every atom? If that person is not the Creator of the souls, Then, alas, what power does He really possess! How is inability and weakness appropriate for God? If this is part of Faith, then what is disbelief? If things can come to be without Him, then What is the need for having such a Person? (20) If He has not created everything, Then that is pretty well the end of His Godhood. If He does not possess the power to create, Then why is there such a clamour of His Godhood? How can such impotent be God at all Who is incapable of making bodies and souls? Pray ponder, as to what kind of God He is From Whom the world of souls is quite separate. He remains perpetually dependent upon the souls Since He rules entirely through them. (25) He who is dependent on others, day and night, Then what sense is there to call him God at all? When He is not even aware of their numbers, then How can He know the inner secrets of each person? If creation is all closed from henceforth, Then pray ponder over it with some sagacity That the moment all the souls achieve salvation, Then what would be left there for God to do?
