He is the Creator of all effects

In reality, He is the Creator of all effects,

but the People of Skin see nothing but

secondary causes. A kernel that has not left

its shell behind has no escape from doctors

and diseases. When man is born for the

second time, he plants his foot upon the head

of all secondary causes.
