They that immerse themselves in the ocean of His utterances should at all times have the utmost regard for the divinely-revealed ordinances and prohibitions.  Indeed His ordinances constitute the mightiest stronghold for the protection of the world and the safeguarding of its peoples—­a light upon those who acknowledge and recognize the truth, and a fire unto such as turn away and deny.

The second Tajalli is to remain steadfast in the Cause of God—­exalted be His glory—­and to be unswerving in His love.  And this can in no wise be attained except through full recognition of Him; and full recognition cannot be obtained save by faith in the blessed words:  ’He doeth whatsoever He willeth.’  Whoso tenaciously cleaveth unto this sublime word and drinketh deep from the living waters of utterance which are inherent therein, will be imbued with such a constancy that all the books of the world will be powerless to deter him from the Mother Book.  O how glorious is this sublime station, this exalted rank, this ultimate purpose!

O ’Ali-Akbar!  Consider how abject is the state of the disbelievers.  They all give utterance to the words:  ’Verily He is to be praised in His deeds and is to be obeyed in His behest.’  Nevertheless if We reveal aught which, even to the extent of a needle’s eye, runneth counter to their selfish ways and desires, they will disdainfully reject it.  Say, none can ever fathom the manifold exigencies of God’s consummate wisdom.  In truth, were He to pronounce the earth to be heaven, no one hath the right to question His authority.  This is that whereunto the Point of the Bayan hath testified in all that was sent down unto Him with truth at the behest of God, He Who hath caused the Dawn to break.

The third Tajalli is concerning arts, crafts and sciences.  Knowledge is as wings to man’s life, and a ladder for his ascent.  Its acquisition is incumbent upon everyone.  The knowledge of such sciences, however, should be acquired as can profit the peoples of the earth, and not those which begin with words and end with words.  Great indeed is the claim of scientists and craftsmen on the peoples of the world.  Unto this beareth witness the Mother Book on the day of His return.  Happy are those possessed of a hearing ear.  In truth, knowledge is a veritable treasure for man, and a source of glory, of bounty, of joy, of exaltation, of cheer and gladness unto him.  Thus hath the Tongue of Grandeur spoken in this Most Great Prison.

The fourth Tajalli is concerning Divinity, Godhead and the like.  Were a man of insight to direct his gaze towards the blessed, the manifest Lote-Tree and its fruits, he would be so enriched thereby as to be independent of aught else and to acknowledge his belief in that which the Speaker on Sinai hath uttered from the throne of Revelation.

O ’Ali-Akbar!  Acquaint the people with the holy verses of thy Lord and make known unto them His straight Path, His mighty Announcement.
