82 Bring then into being, by Our leave, resplendent mirrors and exalted letters that shall testify to Thy sovereignty and dominion, bear witness to Thy might and glory, and be the manifestations of Thy Names amidst mankind.  We have caused Thee again to be the Origin and the Creator of all mirrors, even as We brought them forth from Thee aforetime.  And We shall cause Thee to return unto Mine own Self, even as We called Thee forth in the beginning.  Thy Lord, verily, is the Unconstrained, the All-Powerful, the All-Compelling.  Warn, then, these mirrors, once they have been made manifest, lest they swell with pride before their Creator and Fashioner when He appeareth amongst them, or let the trappings of leadership delude and debar them from bowing in submission before God, the Almighty, the All-Beauteous.

83 Say:  O concourse of mirrors!  Ye are but a creation of My will and have come to exist by virtue of My command.  Beware lest ye deny the verses of My Lord, and be of them who have wrought injustice and are numbered with the lost.  Beware lest ye cling unto that which ye possess, or take pride in your fame and renown.  That which behoveth you is to wholly detach yourselves from all that is in the heavens and on the earth.  Thus hath it been ordained by Him Who is the All-Powerful, the Almighty.

84 O Temple of My Cause!  Say:  Should I wish to transform, in a single moment, all things into mirrors of My Names, this undoubtedly is in My power, how much more in the power of My Lord, Who hath called Me into being through His all-compelling and inscrutable command.  And should I choose to revolutionize the entire creation in the twinkling of an eye, this assuredly is possible unto Me, how much more unto that sovereign Purpose enshrined in the Will of God, My Lord and the Lord of all the worlds.

85 Say:  O ye manifestations of My Names!  Should ye offer up all that ye possess, nay your very lives, in the path of God, and invoke Him to the number of the grains of sand, the drops of rain, and the waves of the sea, and yet oppose the Manifestation of His Cause at the time of His appearance, your works shall in no wise be mentioned before God.  Should ye, however, neglect all righteous works and yet choose to believe in Him in these days, God perchance will put away your sins.  He, verily, is the All-Glorious, the Most Bountiful.  Thus doth the Lord inform you of His purpose, that haply ye may not wax proud before the One through Whom whatsoever hath been revealed from all eternity hath been confirmed.  Happy is he who approacheth this Most Sublime Vision, and woe to them that turn aside!
