achieved except through the power of a skilled, an all-powerful and
inspired Physician. This, verily, is the truth, and all else naught but
error.
CXXI: SAY: O YE THAT ENVY ME AND SEEK MY HURT!...
Say: O ye that envy Me and seek My hurt! The fury of your wrath against Me
confound you! Lo, the Day Star of Glory hath risen above the horizon of My
Revelation, and enveloped with its radiance the whole of mankind. And yet,
behold how ye have shut out yourselves from its splendor and are sunk in
utter heedlessness. Have mercy upon yourselves, and repudiate not the
claim of Him Whose truth ye have already recognized, and be not of them

My words are a guide to My deeds.
Blinded are your eyes! Perceived ye not the greatness of the power of God
and of His sovereignty? Beheld ye not His majesty and glory? Woe unto you,
ye congregation of the malicious and envious! Hearken unto My speech, and
tarry not though it be for less than a moment. Thus biddeth you He Who is
the Beauty of the All-Merciful, that haply ye may detach yourselves from
