Now if we say that we have seen the Sun in two mirrors-- one the Christ and one the Holy Spirit-- that is to say, that we have seen three Suns, one in heaven and the two others on the earth, we speak truly. And if we say that there is one Sun, and it is pure singleness, and has no partner and equal, we again speak truly (114:1) The epitome of the discourse is that the Reality of Christ was a clear mirror, and the Sun of Reality-- that is to say, the Essence of Oneness, with its infinite perfections and attributes-- became visible in the mirror. The meaning is not that the Sun, which is the Essence of the Divinity, became divided and multiplied-- for the Sun is one-- but it appeared in the mirror. This is why Christ said, "The Father is in the Son," meaning that the Sun is visible and manifest in this mirror (114:2) The Holy Spirit is the Bounty of God which becomes visible and evident in the Reality of Christ. The Sonship station is the heart of Christ, and the Holy Spirit is the station of the spirit of Christ. Hence it has become certain and proved that the Essence of Divinity is absolutely unique and has no equal, no likeness, no equivalent
(114:3)
