Beware, beware lest thou behave like unto the people of the Bayan.  For indeed they erred grievously, misguided the people, ignored the Covenant of God and His Testament and joined partners with Him, the One, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing.  Verily they failed to recognize the Point of the Bayan, for had they recognized Him they would not have rejected His manifestation in this luminous and resplendent Being.  And since they fixed their eyes on names, therefore when He replaced His Name ’the Most Exalted’ by ‘the Most Glorious’ their eyes were dimmed.  They have failed to recognize Him in these days and are reckoned with those that perish.  Indeed, had they known Him through His own Self or by virtue of that which He hath revealed, they would not have repudiated Him when He appeared in this glorious and incomparable Name, which God hath ordained to be the Sword of His Revelation between heaven and earth, and through which truth is separated from error, even from now until the Day when mankind shall stand before the Lord of the worlds.

Know thou moreover that in the Day of His Manifestation all things besides God shall be brought forth and placed equally, irrespective of their rank being high or low.  The Day of Return is inscrutable unto all men until after the divine Revelation hath been fulfilled.  He is in truth the One Who ordaineth whatsoever He willeth.  When the Word of God is revealed unto all created things whoso then giveth ear and heedeth the Call is, indeed, reckoned among the most distinguished souls, though he be a carrier of ashes.  And he who turneth away is accounted as the lowliest of His servants, though he be a ruler amongst men and the possessor of all the books that are in the heavens and on earth.

It behoveth thee to look with divine insight upon the things We have revealed and sent unto thee and not towards the people and that which is current amongst them.  They are in this day like unto a blind man who, while moving in the sunshine, demandeth:  Where is the sun?  Is it shining?  He would deny and dispute the truth, and would not be of them that perceive.  Never shall he be able to discern the sun or to understand that which hath intervened between him and it.  He would object within himself, voice protests, and would be among the rebellious.  Such is the state of this people.  Leave them unto themselves, saying:  Unto you be that which ye desire and unto us that which we desire.  Wretched indeed is the plight of the ungodly.

Know thou moreover that the former Manifestation affirmed that the return and rising of the spirits would occur on the Day of Resurrection, while in truth there is a return and resurrection for every created thing.  However We do not wish to mention aught that is not set forth in the Bayan, lest perchance the people of malice raise a great outcry.  O would that that which interveneth between the children of men and their Creator were dispelled that they might be enabled to behold God’s invincible sovereignty and dominion, quaff from the wellspring of His heavenly streams, be sprinkled with the outpourings of the ocean of true understanding and be purged from the defilements of the ungodly and the suspicious.
