Then the “Resurrection” appeared, the “Day ofd Judgment” became manifest, the “earth” heaved and shook, the “mountains” were levelled, the “seas” boiled, the “sun” was eclipsed, the “luminaries” were darkened, the “stars” scattered, the “signs” became known, the “bridge” expanded, the “conditions” were fulfilled, the “balance” was set up, the “fire” burned fiercely and the “paradise” became begemmed!—wherefore the devoted ones entered into delectable gardens with beatitude and the veiled ones were left to amuse themselves with their own imaginations; the possessors of perception beheld the lights and those whose eyes were weak vanished in gloomy darkness before the appearance of the mid-day Sun! Then those whose ears were unstopped and open rejoiced in listening to the call, while the deaf (or ignorant) were astonished , crying out, “What is the cause of this acclamation and rejoicing?” Then the fluent speakers loosened their tongues in thanksgiving and glorification, while the dumb became as hard and lifeless stones; then the souls were purified, the hearts were attracted, the breasts were dilated, the characters were sanctified, the secret thoughts became manifest and the realities stepped into the arena of existence; they sought illumination, were guided, became ablaze, enflamed and enkindled, called forth and proclaimed, saying: “Glad-tidings be unto the righteous ones! Rejoicing be unto the perceiving ones! Happiness be unto the favored ones! Joy be unto the yearning ones! Cheerfulness be unto the attracted ones! Exhilaration be unto the longing ones! Glory be unto Him who hath arisen from the Brightest Dawn! Glory be unto Him who hath shone forth the Manifest Light! Glory be unto Him who showered Glorious Outpourings upon the contingent beings! Glory be unto Him who illumined the Supreme Horizon with such a Radiance by which the gloom of the dark night hath been dispelled! Glory be unto Him who causeth to descend the Food from heaven! Glory be unto Him who causeth the Running Spring to gush forth from the rugged cliff! Glory be unto Him who poured down the Pure Water from on high! Glory be unto Him who allayed the thirst of the devoted ones with the Cup which is mixed with Camphire!(179) Glory be unto Him who developed the barren and sterile ground into fruitfulness! Glory be unto Him who hath produced growth in the adjoining fields of various natures! Glory be unto Him who irrigated them with the same waters gushing forth from that Fountain! Glory be unto Him who adorned the delectable gardens with all kinds of delicate and delicious fruits! Glory be unto Him who ushered in the Emanation of the new creation! Glory be unto Him who hath brought forth the Day of Retribution! Glory be unto Him who granted Life unto the contingent Beings! Glory be unto Him who created the Existence! Glory be unto Him who extended forth the Path! Glory be unto Him who made clear the Way!
