y doubt concerning God? Behold how He hath come down from
the heaven of His grace, girded with power and invested with sovereignty.
Is there any doubt concerning His signs? Open ye your eyes, and consider
His clear evidence. Paradise is on your right hand, and hath been brought
nigh unto you, while Hell hath been made to blaze. Witness its devouring
flame. Haste ye to enter into Paradise, as a token of Our mercy unto you,
and drink ye from the hands of the All-Merciful the Wine that is life
indeed.

Drink with healthy relish, O people of Baha. Ye are indeed they with whom
it shall be well. This is what they who have near access to God have

O My servant that hath turned thy face towards Me! Render thanks unto God
for having sent down unto thee this Tablet in this Prison, that thou
mayest remind the people of the days of thy Lord, the All-Glorious, the
All-Knowing. Thus have We established for thee, through the waters of Our

comprehend its meaning. Say: Praise be to God, the Lord of all worlds.

and will remain in His Reality everlastingly hidden from the sight of men.
"No vision taketh in Him, but He taketh in all vision; He is the Subtile,
