l things in their own place and consider all
matters in their proper light. For in this station, the City of Divine
Unity, are to be found those who have entered within the ark of divine
guidance and journeyed through the heights of divine unity. Thou shalt
behold the lights of beauty upon their faces and the mysteries of glory in
their human temples. Thou shalt perceive the musk-laden fragrance of their

Him, how can the law of change and transformation apply here? Shouldst
thou reflect upon that which We have disclosed unto thee, the daystar of
guidance would shine resplendent before thee in this everlasting morn, and
thou wouldst be numbered therein with the pious.

92 Know, moreover, that all that We have mentioned concerning these
journeys is intended for none but the elect amongst the righteous. And
shouldst thou spur on the charger of the spirit and traverse the meads of
heaven, thou wouldst complete all these journeys and discover every
