On Concealment

The one who raised the heavens and set the stars in place, who created mind and soul and made humankind. He tied together the threads of all creation, then hid the loose end somewhere in the middle.
Explanation: The image of a 'thread' and its hidden 'loose end' suggests the order of the universe whose ultimate key or explanation God has deliberately concealed from us.
