ANT, INASMUCH...

Blessed art thou, O My servant, inasmuch as thou hast recognized the
Truth, and withdrawn from him who repudiated the All-Merciful, and was
condemned as wicked in the Mother Tablet. Walk thou steadfastly in the
love of God, and keep straight on in His Faith, and aid Him through the
power of thine utterance. Thus biddeth thee the All-Merciful Who is
suffering imprisonment at the hands of His oppressors.

If tribulation touch thee for My sake, call thou to mind My ills and
troubles, and remember My banishment and imprisonment. Thus do We devolve
on thee what hath descended upon Us from Him Who is the All-Glorious, the
All-Wise.

By My Self! The day is approaching when We will have rolled up the world
and all that is therein, and spread out a new order in its stead. He,
verily, is powerful over all things.

Sanctify thine heart, that thou mayest remember Me; and purge thine ear,
that thou mayest hearken unto My words. Set then thy face towards the Spot
wherein the throne of thy Lord, the God of Mercy, hath been established,
and say: Praise be to Thee, O my Lord, for having enabled me to recognize
the Manifestation of Thine own Self, and aided me to fix mine heart on the
court of Thy presence, the object of my soul's adoration. I beseech Thee,
by Thy name that caused the heavens to be rent and the earth to be cleft
asunder, to ordain for me what Thou didst ordain for them that have turned
away from all else but Thee, and rested their hearts firmly upon Thee.
Grant that I may be seated in Thy presence on the seat of truth, within
the Tabernacle of Glory. Powerful art Thou to do what Thou willest. There
is none other God but Thee, the All-Glorious, the All-Wise.

CXLIV: THE PEN OF THE MOST HIGH HATH DECREED...

The Pen of the Most High hath decreed and imposed upon every one the
obligation to teach this Cause.... God will, no doubt, inspire whosoever
detacheth himself from all else but Him, and will cause the pure waters of
wisdom and utterance to gush out and flow copiously from his heart.
Verily, thy Lord, the All-Merciful, is powerful to do as He willeth, and
ordaineth whatsoever He pleaseth.

Wert thou to consider this world, and realize how fleeting are the things
that pertain unto it, thou wouldst choose to tread no path except the path
of service to the Cause of thy Lord. None would have the power to deter
thee from celebrating His praise, though all men should arise to oppose
thee.
