This is not only a commandment but also a promise or reward.

Your own efforts "did not bring it to pass," only God-but rejoice if God found a use for your efforts in His work.

God expects but one thing of you, and that is that you should come out of yourself in so far as you are a created being made and let God be God in you.

Existence itself stands in need of nothing, for it lacks nothing, whereas everything else needs it, because outside of it there is nothing.
