20. パート 1 — 19

1O questioning lover! If thou dost soar in the holy atmosphere of Spirit, thou wilt see the True One so manifest above all things that thou wilt find naught else save Him. "There was God and nothing with Him." This condition is sanctified above demonstration by any proof or being shown by any argument. If thou dost traverse the sacred space of Truth, (thou wilt behold) all things renowned through His Distinction, while He hath been and will be known in Himself. If thou art abiding in the ground of argument, then be satisfied with that which is said by Himself: "Is it not sufficient for them that We have sent down unto thee the Book" (K. S. 29)? This is the evidence which He hath Himself established; greater proof than this there is none nor ever will be. "His verses are His proof and His Being is His argument."

2At this time, We beseech the people of the Beyan, its wise men, sages, learned and witnesses, not to forget the Commandments of God as mentioned in the Book and to look always toward the Origin of the matter, lest at the time of the Manifestation of that Essence of Essences, Truth of Truths and Light of Lights, they may cling to some of the verses of the Book and inflict upon Him that which was inflicted in the cycle of the Koran. For that King of Divinity hath power to take life from the whole Beyan and its people, by a single letter of His Own wonderful Words; or bestow upon them all a wonderful preexistent Life by a single letter, and resuscitate and send them forth from the graves of egotism and desire. Be attentive and watchful, for all must end in belief in Him and in attaining His Days and Meeting. "Righteousness is not turning your faces toward the east and the west; but righteous is he who believes in God and in the Last Day" (K. S. 2). Hear ye, O people of the Beyan, that which We exhort ye in Truth, that perchance ye may dwell in the shadow extended in the Days of God!
