O thou who bearest My Name!  The glances of the loving-kindness of God have been and continue to be directed towards thee.  While in His presence, thou hast heard the Voice of the One true God—­exalted be His glory—­and hast beheld the unveiled splendour of the Light of divine knowledge.  Ponder a while!  How sublime is the Utterance of Him Who is the Sovereign Truth and how abject are the idle contentions of the people!  The accumulations of vain fancy have obstructed men’s ears and stopped them from hearing the Voice of God, and the veils of human learning and false imaginings have prevented their eyes from beholding the splendour of the light of His countenance.  With the arm of might and power We have rescued a number of souls from the slough of impending extinction and enabled them to attain the Dayspring of glory.  Moreover We have laid bare the divine mysteries and in most explicit language foretold future events, that neither the doubts of the faithless, nor the denials of the froward, nor the whisperings of the heedless may keep back the seekers of truth from the Source of the light of the One true God.  Nevertheless some people seem to have been seized with epilepsy, others are torn up even as hollow tree-stumps.  They abandon God, the Most Exalted—­He before Whose revelation of a single verse, all the Scriptures of the past and of more recent times pale into lowliness and insignificance—­and set their hearts on lying tales and follow empty words.

Thou hast surely quaffed from the ocean of Mine utterance and hast witnessed the effulgent splendour of the orb of My wisdom.  Thou hast also heard the sayings of the infidels who neither are acquainted with the fundamentals of the Faith, nor have tasted this choice Wine whose seal hath been broken through the power of My Name, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.  Beseech thou God that the believers who are endued with true understanding may be graciously enabled to do that which is pleasing unto Him.

How strange that despite this ringing Call, despite the appearance of this most wondrous Revelation, We notice that men, for the most part, have fixed their hearts on the vanities of the world and are sorely dismayed and troubled by reason of prevailing doubts and evil suggestions.  Say:  This is the Day of God Himself; fear ye God and be not of them that have disbelieved in Him.  Cast the idle tales behind your backs and behold My Revelation through Mine eyes.  Unto this have ye been exhorted in heavenly Books and Scriptures, in the Scrolls and Tablets.

Arise thou to serve the Cause of thy Lord; then give the people the joyful tidings concerning this resplendent Light whose revelation hath been announced by God through His Prophets and Messengers.  Admonish everyone moreover to observe prudence as ordained by Him, and in the Name of God advise them, saying:  It behoveth every one in this Day of God to dedicate himself to the teaching of the Cause with utmost prudence and steadfastness.  Should he discover a pure soil, let him sow the seed of the Word of God, otherwise it would be preferable to observe silence.
