He is the first created thing. Do you not see? The Truth, Glory be to Him, first created the pen, or say the mind, as He said. He created only one, then He created the throat from that one, so the world expanded. Likewise, number originates from one, then that which accepts the second, not from The One Existence then accepts the multiplication and combination of levels, expanding to an infinitely great extent. So if you end up expanding in it to a certain extent of thousands and other things, then you seek the One from which the number arose, you will continue to reduce the number and that expansion that you were in will disappear from you until you end up with the two. By its presence, the number appeared, since one was the first of them, so one is the narrowest of things, and not by looking at itself as a number in itself, but by what is two, or three, or four, so its name and its essence are never combined, so know that .
