ty of the All-Glorious? By the righteousness of God! This is
His Hidden Secret, Who hath risen from the dayspring of creation; and this
is His cherished Beauty, Who hath shone forth above the horizon of this
exalted Station, invested with the sovereignty of God, the Help in Peril,
the All-Glorious, the All-Subduing, the Almighty."

63 O Temple of Holiness! We, verily, have cleansed Thy breast from the
whisperings of the people and sanctified it from earthly allusions, that
the light of My beauty may appear therein and be reflected in the mirrors

treasury of all the knowledge of past and future ages, and the
dawning-place of Our own knowledge which We have ordained for the dwellers
of earth and heaven, that all creation may partake of the outpourings of
Thy grace and may attain, through the wonders of Thy knowledge, unt
