he
mention of His Name, yet on this Day of fruition--a Day whereon ye should
not only arise at His Name, but seek a path unto Him Who personifies that
Name--ye shut yourselves out from Him as by as veil. VI, 15.

"At the time of the manifestation of Him Whom God ..."

At the time of the manifestation of Him Whom God shall make manifest
everyone should be well trained in the teachings of the Bayan, so that
none of the followers may outwardly cling to the Bayan and thus forfeit
their allegiance unto Him. If anyone does so, the verdict of 'disbeliever
in God' shall be passed upon him.

I swear by the holy Essence of God, were all in the Bayan to unite in
helping Him Whom God shall make manifest in the days of His Revelation,
not a single soul, nay, not a created thing would remain on earth that
would not gain admittance into Paradise. Take good heed of yourselves, for
the sum total of the religion of God is but to help Him, rather than to
observe, in the time of His appearance, such deeds as are prescribed in
the Bayan. Should anyone, however, ere He manifesteth Himself, transgress
the ordinances, were it to the extent of a grain of barley, he would have
trangressed His command.

Seek ye refuge in God from whatsoever might lead you astray from the
Source of His Revelation and hold fast unto His Cord, for whoso holdeth
fast unto His allegiance, he hath attained and will attain salvation in
all the worlds.

'Such is the bounty of God; to whom He will, He giveth it, and God is the
Lord of grace abounding.'(61) V, 5.

"Ye perform your works for God from the beginning of ..."

Ye perform your works for God from the beginning of your lives till the
end thereof, yet not a single act is for the sake of Him Who is the
Manifestation of God, to Whom every good deed reverteth. Had ye acted in
such manner, ye would not have suffered so grievously on the Day of
Resurrection.

Behold how great is the Cause, and yet how the people are wrapt in veils.
I swear by the sanctified Essence of God that every true praise and deed
offered unto God is naught but praise and deed offered unto Him Whom God
shall make manifest.

Deceive not your own selves that you are being virtuous for the sake of
God when you are not. For should ye truly do your works for God, ye would
be performing them for Him Whom God shall make manifest and would be
magnifying His Name. The dwellers of this mountain who are bereft of true
understanding
