ing Him Whom God shall make manifest and by
extolling His name, God will cause your hearts to be dilated with joy, and
do ye not wish your hearts to be in such a blissful state? Indeed the
hearts of them that truly believe in Him Whom God shall make manifest are
vaster than the expanse of heaven and earth and whatever is between them.
God hath left no hindrance in their hearts, were it but the size of a
mustard seed. He will cheer their hearts, their spirits, their souls and
their bodies and their days of prosperity or adversity, through the
exaltation of the name of Him Who is the supreme Testimony of God and the
promotion of the Word of Him Who is the Dayspring of the glory of their
Creator.
Verily, these are souls who take delight in the remembrance of God, Who
dilates their hearts through the effulgence of the light of knowledge and
wisdom. They seek naught but God and are oft engaged in giving praise unto
Him. They desire naught except whatever He desireth and stand ready to do
His bidding. Their hearts are mirrors reflecting whatsoever He Whom God
shall make manifest willeth. Thus God will cheer the hearts of those who
truly believe in Him and in His signs and who are well assured of the life
to come. Say, the life to come is none other than the days associated with
the coming of Him Whom God will make manifest.
Reduce not the ordinances of God to fanciful imaginations of your own;
rather observe all the things which God hath created at His behest with
the eye of the spirit, even as ye see things with the eyes of your bodies.

"The divine Revelation associated with the advent of Him ..."
The divine Revelation associated with the advent of Him Who is your
promised Mihdi hath proved far more wondrous than the Revelation wherewith
Muhammad, the Apostle of God, was invested. Would that ye might ponder.
Verily, God raised up Muhammad, the Apostle of God, from among the people
of Arabia after he had reached forty years of age--a fact which every one
of you affirmeth and upholdeth--while your Redeemer was raised up by God at
the age of twenty-four amidst people none of whom can speak or understand
a single word of Arabic. Thus God layeth bare the glory of His Cause and
demonstrateth the Truth through the potency of His revealed Word. He is
indeed the Powerful, the Omnipotent, the Help in Peril, the Best Beloved.
