19. Observe the power of Allah Almighty that although the water mixes, yet in the ocean there is no visible covering between the sweet and salty water. In spite of this, the two mix with one another. The great Sufi sages say that in every human being there is a heart and soul, but both are clearly distinguishable from one another. From the womb of one mother, He enabled the birth of a boy and a girl. From the loins of one father are born a believer and an infidel, an auspicious and a wicked person - all are distinguishable from one another.
