If this point were to be expounded an elaborate explanation would be required which, it is feared, might become tedious.  It is the ardent hope of this lowly one that God—­exalted be His glory—­may grant all men that which is good.  For he who is endowed therewith is the possessor of all things.  The Great Being saith:  The Tongue of Wisdom proclaimeth:  He that hath Me not is bereft of all things.  Turn ye away from all that is on earth and seek none else but Me.  I am the Sun of Wisdom and the Ocean of Knowledge.  I cheer the faint and revive the dead.  I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way.  I am the royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty.  I unfold the drooping wings of every broken bird and start it on its flight.

And likewise He saith:  The heaven of true understanding shineth resplendent with the light of two luminaries:  tolerance and righteousness.

O my friend!  Vast oceans lie enshrined within this brief saying.  Blessed are they who appreciate its value, drink deep therefrom and grasp its meaning, and woe betide the heedless.  This lowly one entreateth the people of the world to observe fairness, that their tender, their delicate and precious hearing which hath been created to hearken unto the words of wisdom may be freed from impediments and from such allusions, idle fancies or vain imaginings as ‘cannot fatten nor appease the hunger’, so that the true Counsellor may be graciously inclined to set forth that which is the source of blessing for mankind and of the highest good for all nations.

At present the light of reconciliation is dimmed in most countries and its radiance extinguished while the fire of strife and disorder hath been kindled and is blazing fiercely.  Two great powers who regard themselves as the founders and leaders of civilization and the framers of constitutions have risen up against the followers of the Faith associated with Him Who conversed with God.(59) Be ye warned, O men of understanding.  It ill beseemeth the station of man to commit tyranny; rather it behoveth him to observe equity and be attired with the raiment of justice under all conditions.  Beseech ye the One true God that He may, through the power of the hand of loving-kindness and spiritual education, purge and purify certain souls from the defilement of evil passions and corrupt desires, that they may arise and unloose their tongues for the sake of God, that perchance the evidences of injustice may be blotted out and the splendour of the light of justice may shed its radiance upon the whole world.  The people are ignorant, and they stand in need of those who will expound the truth.

The Great Being saith:  The man of consummate learning and the sage endowed with penetrating wisdom are the two eyes to the body of mankind.  God willing, the earth shall never be deprived of these two greatest gifts.  That which hath been set forth and will be revealed in the future is but a token of this Servant’s ardent desire to dedicate Himself to the service of all the kindreds of the earth.
