Do thou ponder these momentous happenings in thy heart, so that thou
mayest apprehend the greatness of this Revelation, and perceive its
stupendous glory. Then shall the spirit of faith, through the grace of the
Merciful, be breathed into thy being, and thou shalt be established and
abide upon the seat of certitude. The one God is My witness! Wert thou to
ponder a while, thou wilt recognize that, apart from all these established
truths and above-mentioned evidences, the repudiation, cursing, and
execration, pronounced by the people of the earth, are in themselves the
mightiest proof and the surest testimony of the truth of these heroes of
the field of resignation and detachment. Whenever thou dost meditate upon
the cavils uttered by all the people, be they divines, learned or
ignorant, the firmer and the more steadfast wilt thou grow in the Faith.
For whatsoever hath come to pass, hath been prophesied by them who are the
Mines of divine knowledge, and Recipients of God’s eternal law.
Although We did not intend to make mention of the traditions of a bygone
age, yet, because of Our love for thee, We will cite a few which are
applicable to Our argument. We do not feel their necessity, however,
inasmuch as the things We have already mentioned suffice the world and all
that is therein. In fact, all the Scriptures and the mysteries thereof are
condensed into this brief account. So much so, that were a person to
ponder it a while in his heart, he would discover from all that hath been
said the mysteries of the Words of God, and would apprehend the meaning of
whatever hath been manifested by that ideal King. As the people differ in
their understanding and station, We will accordingly make mention of a few
traditions, that these may impart constancy to the wavering soul, and
tranquillity to the troubled mind. Thereby, will the testimony of God unto
the people, both high and low, be complete and perfect.
