month be carefully examined, lest they rot and perish. God, however,
preserved them and sent them unto a place which He had previously
ordained. He, verily, is the Protector, the Succorer.
Wherever this Wronged One went Mírzá Yaḥyá followed Him. Thou art thyself
a witness and well knowest that whatever hath been said is the truth. The
Siyyid of Iṣfáhán, however, surreptitiously duped him. They committed that
which caused the greatest consternation. Would that thou wouldst inquire
from the officials of the government concerning the conduct of Mírzá Yaḥyá
in that land. Aside from all this, I adjure thee by God, the One, the
Incomparable, the Lord of Strength, the Most Powerful, to carefully look
into the communications addressed in his name to the Primal Point, that
thou mayest behold the evidences of Him Who is the Truth as clear as the
sun. Likewise, there proceeded from the words of the Point of the
Bayán—may the souls of all else but Him be sacrificed for His sake—that
which no veil can obscure, and which neither the veils of glory nor the
veils interposed by such as have gone astray can hide. The veils have,
verily, been rent asunder by the finger of the will of thy Lord, the
Strong, the All-Subduing, the All-Powerful. Yea, desperate is the state of
such as have calumniated Me and envied Me. Not long ago it was stated that
thou hadst ascribed the authorship of the Kitáb-i-Íqán and of other
Tablets unto others. I swear by God! This is a grievous injustice. Others
are incapable of apprehending their meaning, how much more of revealing
them!
