O my friend!  In all circumstances one should seize upon every means which will promote security and tranquillity among the peoples of the world.  The Great Being saith:  In this glorious Day whatever will purge you from corruption and will lead you towards peace and composure, is indeed the Straight Path.

Please God, the peoples of the world may be led, as the result of the high endeavours exerted by their rulers and the wise and learned amongst men, to recognize their best interests.  How long will humanity persist in its waywardness?  How long will injustice continue?  How long is chaos and confusion to reign amongst men?  How long will discord agitate the face of society?

This humble servant is filled with wonder, inasmuch as all men are endowed with the capacity to see and hear, yet we find them deprived of the privilege of using these faculties.  This servant hath been prompted to pen these lines by virtue of the tender love he cherisheth for thee.  The winds of despair are, alas, blowing from every direction, and the strife that divideth and afflicteth the human race is daily increasing.  The signs of impending convulsions and chaos can now be discerned, inasmuch as the prevailing order appeareth to be lamentably defective.  I beseech God, exalted be His glory, that He may graciously awaken the peoples of the earth, may grant that the end of their conduct may be profitable unto them, and aid them to accomplish that which beseemeth their station.

Were man to appreciate the greatness of his station and the loftiness of his destiny he would manifest naught save goodly character, pure deeds, and a seemly and praiseworthy conduct.  If the learned and wise men of goodwill were to impart guidance unto the people, the whole earth would be regarded as one country.  Verily this is the undoubted truth.  This servant appealeth to every diligent and enterprising soul to exert his utmost endeavour and arise to rehabilitate the conditions in all regions and to quicken the dead with the living waters of wisdom and utterance, by virtue of the love he cherisheth for God, the One, the Peerless, the Almighty, the Beneficent.

No man of wisdom can demonstrate his knowledge save by means of words.  This showeth the significance of the Word as is affirmed in all the Scriptures, whether of former times or more recently.  For it is through its potency and animating spirit that the people of the world have attained so eminent a position.  Moreover words and utterances should be both impressive and penetrating.  However, no word will be infused with these two qualities unless it be uttered wholly for the sake of God and with due regard unto the exigencies of the occasion and the people.

The Great Being saith:  Human utterance is an essence which aspireth to exert its influence and needeth moderation.  As to its influence, this is conditional upon refinement which in turn is dependent upon hearts which are detached and pure.  As to its moderation, this hath to be combined with tact and wisdom as prescribed in the Holy Scriptures and Tablets.
