The aim of this Wronged One in sustaining woes and tribulations, in revealing the Holy Verses and in demonstrating proofs hath been naught but to quench the flame of hate and enmity, that the horizon of the hearts of men may be illumined with the light of concord and attain real peace and tranquillity.  From the dawning-place of the divine Tablet the day-star of this utterance shineth resplendent, and it behoveth everyone to fix his gaze upon it:  We exhort you, O peoples of the world, to observe that which will elevate your station.  Hold fast to the fear of God and firmly adhere to what is right.  Verily I say, the tongue is for mentioning what is good, defile it not with unseemly talk.  God hath forgiven what is past.  Henceforward everyone should utter that which is meet and seemly, and should refrain from slander, abuse and whatever causeth sadness in men.  Lofty is the station of man!  Not long ago this exalted Word streamed forth from the treasury of Our Pen of Glory:  Great and blessed is this Day—­the Day in which all that lay latent in man hath been and will be made manifest.  Lofty is the station of man, were he to hold fast to righteousness and truth and to remain firm and steadfast in the Cause.  In the eyes of the All-Merciful a true man appeareth even as a firmament; its sun and moon are his sight and hearing, and his shining and resplendent character its stars.  His is the loftiest station, and his influence educateth the world of being.

Every receptive soul who hath in this Day inhaled the fragrance of His garment and hath, with a pure heart, set his face towards the all-glorious Horizon is reckoned among the people of Baha in the Crimson Book.  Grasp ye, in My Name, the chalice of My loving-kindness, drink then your fill in My glorious and wondrous remembrance.

O ye that dwell on earth!  The religion of God is for love and unity; make it not the cause of enmity or dissension.  In the eyes of men of insight and the beholders of the Most Sublime Vision, whatsoever are the effective means for safeguarding and promoting the happiness and welfare of the children of men have already been revealed by the Pen of Glory.  But the foolish ones of the earth, being nurtured in evil passions and desires, have remained heedless of the consummate wisdom of Him Who is, in truth, the All-Wise, while their words and deeds are prompted by idle fancies and vain imaginings.

O ye the loved ones and the trustees of God!  Kings are the manifestations of the power, and the daysprings of the might and riches, of God.  Pray ye on their behalf.  He hath invested them with the rulership of the earth and hath singled out the hearts of men as His Own domain.

Conflict and contention are categorically forbidden in His Book.  This is a decree of God in this Most Great Revelation.  It is divinely preserved from annulment and is invested by Him with the splendour of His confirmation.  Verily He is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
