will testify to the truth that "He, verily,
is God; there is none other God besides Him."...
There can be no doubt whatever that, in consequence of the efforts which
every man may consciously exert and as a result of the exertion of his own
spiritual faculties, this mirror can be so cleansed from the dross of
earthly defilements and purged from satanic fancies as to be able to draw
nigh unto the meads of eternal holiness and attain the courts of
everlasting fellowship. In pursuance, however, of the principle that for
every thing a time hath been fixed, and for every fruit a season hath been
ordained, the latent energies of such a bounty can best be released, and
the vernal glory of such a gift can only be manifested, in the Days of
God. Invested though each day may be with its pre-ordained share of God's
wondrous grace, the Days immediately associated with the Manifestation of
God possess a unique distinction and occupy a station which no mind can
ever comprehend. Such is the virtue infused into them that if the hearts
of all that dwell in the heavens and the earth were, in those days of
everlasting delight, to be brought face to face with that Day Star of
unfading glory and attuned to His Will, each would find itself exalted
above all earthly things, radiant with His light, and sanctified through
His grace. All hail to this grace which no blessing, however great, can
excel, and all honor to such a loving-kindness the like of which the eye
of creation hath not seen! Exalted is He above that which they attribute
unto Him or recount about Him!
It is for this reason that, in those days, no man shall ever stand in need
of his neighbor. It hath already been abundantly demonstrated that in that
divinely-appointed Day the majority of them that have sought and attained
His holy court have revealed such knowledge and wisdom, a drop of which
none else besides these holy and sanctified souls, however long he may
have taught or studied, hath grasped or will ever comprehend. It is by
virtue of this power that the beloved of God have, in the days of the
Manifestation of the Day Star of Truth, been exalted above, and made
independent of, all human learning. Nay, from their hearts and the springs
of their innate powers hath gushed out unceasingly the inmost essence of
human learning and wisdom.
