heart is attracted and whose breast is..."

O thou(203) whose heart is attracted and whose breast is dilated with joy
by the Holy Fragrances!

Give the glad-tidings to the assemblies of the beloved who are firm in the
Covenant and say:

"Verily the Lord hath manifested Himself in this new and wonderful age
with the greatest bounty and mercy, which have never been preceded and
whereof the eye of existence hath never seen the like; and it is His Great
Covenant and New Testament, as appointed by the trace of His Supreme Pen,
through which, and according to clear ordinances and explicit statements,
the matter was plainly shown and the branches (sons), twigs (relations),
kinsmen and beloved were commanded to obey the "appointed Center of the
Covenant." But the Covenant of God and His Testament is a bounty to the
righteous and a curse to the wicked.

"On hearing this Command some faces have rejoiced by this Glowing Lamp,
and others become gloomy and in their hearts the fire of jealousy and
rebellion hath been kindled. They disobeyed the Command of their Lord the
Merciful, endeavored to spread lies and arose to divulge seditious rumors
contrary to that which was descended from God. They imagine that they are
able to resist this Power, which penetrates into the heart of the
contingent world, or to cover the Truth through their false tongues and
complicated opinions, and to withhold this Sea from surging, the holy
fragrances from being spread, and the breaths of the Spirit of the Ancient

penetrates into the core of all things and cannot be resisted either by
the hosts of the world or by the armies of the enemies! In the past ages
there is a warning to every intelligent one! Ye shall see their banners
reversed, their sign abolished, their happiness destroyed in those regions
in a similar way to the disappointment of their hopes in the East.

"But, as the people of the West are still children in the Cause(204) and
have not perfect knowledge of its reality and validity, the nakazeen
thought it to be an easy prey and availed themselves of this opportunity
for laying doubts and suspicions, speaking false words, divulging
seditious calumnies among the people. Ye shall see all this as scattered
dust, and all these thick, dark clouds which were gathered in those far
regions, will disappear and the Sun of Certainty and Reality shall shine
with the Most Dazzling Lig
