20. Although the earth is round, it is spread out due to its largeness i.e. it seems as if it is laid out. Visibly the entire earth is equal but its qualities and substances are different. The earth of Bengal is different to that of Punjab. From some we obtain gold and from others some. different ores. From some, we obtain large deposits of oil. Likewise, human beings too seem outwardly the same but in reality, they are different. From the hearts of some pour out dirt while from the others flow out fountains of the e mystical knowledge of Allah Almighty.
