                The discussion of greatness of Allah Ta’ala and subjugation of all the creatures unto Him has been mentioned in the couplets above. The support and emphasis of these contents has been there in these extant couplets, as he states that the attribute of eloquence that the river has got is because it is endowed with the gifts from Allah TA’ala. Thus the characteristic of rivers/ seas of granting something are what they received from similar attribute of Allah Ta’ala. The attribute of generosity that the clouds and the seas have received, as they are providing enough water, the reason for this is the warmth of the bounty of Allah Ta’ala. Thus the attribute of generosity of clouds and seas are due to the beneficence of attribute of generosity and benevolence of Allah Ta’ala. The sun moves and wanders in the sky, which results in the provisioning of light to the world and the reason for this is the same due to the warmth of benevolence of Allah Ta’ala. Thus the attribute of the sun for providing the light to the world is due to beneficence of this attribute of Allah Ta’ala. The earth that accepts the seeds and the reason is that the soil and water have been under the influence of the shadow of Allah Ta’ala. Thus acceptance of seeds by the earth because of the knowledge  is due to the beneficence of the attribute of knowledge of Allah Ta’ala. The soil has attained the attribute of honesty and it become so honest that whatever you sow, you will harvest the same and it does not happen that soil be dishonest and gives you something else than what you have sowed like it gives you barley instead of wheat. The reason of this attribute of honesty of the earth and soil is that it is benefitted and received the same from the attribute of honesty of Allah Ta’ala, as He is just and to be just, honesty is the prerequisite. On the basis of this meaning, the attribute of honesty of Allah Ta’ala has been proved, otherwise there is no such name of being honest amongst the famed names of Allah Ta’ala. Thus the sun of this attribute of justice of Allah Ta’ala is illuminating the earth and hence the attributes of honesty and justice of earth is due to the beneficence from these attributes of Allah Ta’ala. The effects of earth being informed and knowledgeable that earth will not allow the greenery and the flowers to blossom till the time, the season of spring occurs with the command of Allah Ta’ala, like the intellectuals and those who have manners do not speak till the ruler says so. That Pure Existence (ذاتِ پاک) is so generous that it provides the knowledge, which are even beyond plants and animals (plural of knowledge is used here as there are discussion of two knowledges, one as mentioned in the couplet 632 and the second in couplet 635, which are clear from their respective explanations), to an inanimate thing i.e. the earth/ soil. And the earth has been given such an honesty as mentioned in couplet 634 and such a balanced insight (different knowledge for knowledge insight and honesty for action insight). Thus correctness of attributes that has been bestowed contains every attributes that have been bestowed and mentioned above. This is the beneficence of Allah Ta’ala that a mineral (earth) has been turned into like human beings with soul, as the attributes of human beings are apparent in it, contained with the bounty of attributes of knowledge (علم) & action (عمل). With the emergence of these enjoyable attributes of spring, the wrath of autumn, the attribute of wrath which brings autumn, becomes hidden. Because when the effects of attributes of bounty like beauty, happiness and life appears, then the effects of attributes of wrath like fury and anger starts disappearing. Similarly, in technical terminology, this pursuit of contrasting themes is known as tajalliyaat/ advent of names of opposites. Thus that mineral i.e. earth becomes subtle due to beneficence of the grace of Allah Ta’ala as has been mentioned in the previous couplet 637. In fact, whatever happens by the grace of great (خوب), it is actually great. Thus Allah Ta’ala is elegant and graceful with all His names  and attributes and wherever His splendor pervades, everything there becomes elegant and graceful. It is His divine nature that it makes a mineral to become informed and knowledgeable with the advent of His beautiful/ graceful attributes (جمالیہ) as occurred in above couplets and makes intellectuals and knowledgeable ones like blind on the advent of His awe-inspiring attributes (جلالیہ), as they could not see the correct or right directions like Iblees etc.
