Source (Arabic)
با اینکه مهلک است معذلک در مقام خود اثری و نفعی از او مشهود و این اثر در اشیاء از اثر این اسم مبارک است سبحان خالق الأسمآء و الصّفات شجر یابس را بسوزانند و شجرهٴ طریّهٔ رطبیّه را در ظلّش مأوی گیرند و از اثمارش متنعّم شوند در احیان مظاهر الهیّه اکثری از بریّه بامثال این کلمات نالائقه ناطق چنانچه در کتب الهیّه و صحف منزله تفصیل آن نازل توحید
Shoghi Effendi Translation
It should be borne in mind, however, that when the light of My Name, the All-Pervading, hath shed its radiance upon the universe, each and every created thing hath, according to a fixed decree, been endowed with the capacity to exercise a particular influence, and been made to possess a distinct virtue. Consider the effect of poison. Deadly though it is, it possesseth the power of exerting, under certain conditions, a beneficial influence. The potency infused into all created things is the direct consequence of the revelation of this most blessed Name. Glorified be He, Who is the Creator of all names and attributes! Cast into the fire the tree that hath rot and dried up, and abide under the shadow of the green and goodly Tree, and partake of the fruit thereof.
