Sufficiency thrice

Month, Day: Names, Speech (Grace)

In Kitáb-i-Aqdas #172, we find this: We, of a certainty, have had no purpose in this earthly realm save to make God manifest and to reveal His sovereignty; sufficient unto Me is God for a witness. We, of a certainty, have had no intent in the celestial Kingdom but to exalt His Cause and glorify His praise; sufficient unto Me is God for a protector. We, of a certainty, have had no desire in the Dominion on high except to extol God and what hath been sent down by Him; sufficient unto Me is God for a helper.

There is no reason to think that any sufficiency set ought to be of cardinality one which some viewpoints, looking for a grand scheme, might seem to propose. On the other hand, we may want to argue for a minimal set as this is necessary for operational, and even ontological, effectiveness. Yet, that minimality would be conditional.

So, discussing such issues is the task at hand.

Remarks:

08/05/2009 -- We'll look at SAQ #37 more in the context of how the Teleological influences.

05/29/2009 -- The Transcendent baffles.
