hath prepared for the people of Baha. All must glorify his name, must
reverence his station, and aid him to unlock the cities with the keys of
My Name, the omnipotent Protector of all that inhabit the visible and
invisible kingdoms. Such a king is the very eye of mankind, the luminous
ornament on the brow of creation, the fountain-head of blessings unto the
whole world. Offer up, O people of Baha, your substance, nay your very
lives, for his assistance.

CVI: THE ALL-KNOWING PHYSICIAN HATH HIS FINGER...

The All-Knowing Physician hath His finger on the pulse of mankind. He
perceiveth the disease, and prescribeth, in His unerring wisdom, the
remedy. Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular
aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions
can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be
anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and center your
deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.

We can well perceive how the whole human race is encompassed with great,
with incalculable afflictions. We see it languishing on its bed of
sickness, sore-tried and disillusioned. They that are intoxicated by
self-conceit have interposed themselves between it and the Divine and
infallible Physician. Witness how they have entangled all men, themselves
included, in the mesh of their devices. They can neither discover the
cause of the disease, nor have they any knowledge of the remedy. They have
conceived the straight to be crooked, and have imagined their friend an
enemy.

Incline your ears to the sweet melody of this Prisoner. Arise, and lift up
your voices, that haply they that are fast asleep may be awakened. Say: O
ye who are as dead! The Hand of Divine bounty proffereth unto you the
Water of Life. Hasten and drink your fill. Whoso hath been re-born in this
Day, shall never die; whoso remaineth dead, shall never live.

CVII: HE WHO IS YOUR LORD, THE ALL-MERCIFUL,...

He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His heart the desire
of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one body. Haste ye to
win your share of God's good grace and mercy in this Day that eclipseth
all other created Days. How great the felicity that awaiteth the man that
forsaketh all he hath in a desire to obtain the things of God! Such a man,
We testify, is among God's blessed ones.
