if shed upon all that are in the heavens and on the
earth, suffice to enrich them with the bounty of God, the Almighty, the
All-Knowing, the All-Wise. With the hands of renunciation draw forth from
its life-giving waters, and sprinkle therewith all created things, that
they may be cleansed from all man-made limitations and may approach the
mighty seat of God, this hallowed and resplendent Spot.
Be not grieved if thou performest it thyself alone. Let God be
all-sufficient for thee. Commune intimately with His Spirit, and be thou
of the thankful. Proclaim the Cause of thy Lord unto all who are in the
heavens and on the earth. Should any man respond to thy call, lay bare
before him the pearls of the wisdom of the Lord, thy God, which His Spirit
hath sent down unto thee, and be thou of them that truly believe. And
should any one reject thine offer, turn thou away from him, and put thy
trust and confidence in the Lord, thy God, the Lord of all worlds.
By the righteousness of God! Whoso openeth his lips in this Day and maketh
mention of the name of his Lord, the hosts of Divine inspiration shall
descend upon him from the heaven of My name, the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise. On him shall also descend the Concourse on high, each bearing
aloft a chalice of pure light. Thus hath it been foreordained in the realm
of God's Revelation, by the behest of Him Who is the All-Glorious, the
Most Powerful.
There lay concealed within the Holy Veil, and prepared for the service of
God, a company of His chosen ones who shall be manifested unto men, who
shall aid His Cause, who shall be afraid of no one, though the entire
human race rise up and war against them. These are the ones who, before
the gaze of the dwellers on earth and the denizens of heaven, shall arise
and, shouting aloud, acclaim the name of the Almighty, and summon the
children of men to the path of God, the All-Glorious, the All-Praised.
Walk thou in their way, and let no one dismay thee. Be of them whom the
tumult of the world, however much it may agitate them in the path of their
Creator, can never sadden, whose purpose the blame of the blamer will
never defeat.
Go forth with the Tablet of God and His signs, and rejoin them that have
believed in Me, and announce unto them tidings of Our most holy Paradise.
Warn, then, those that have joined partners with Him. Say: I am come to
you, O people, from the Throne of glory, and bear you an announcement from
God, the Most Powerful
