ng will rejoice, inasmuch as all will have attained the summit of their
existence, and will have been brought face to face with their Beloved, and
will have recognized, to the fullest extent attainable in the world of
being, the splendor of Him Who is the Desire of their hearts. If not, My
soul will indeed be saddened. I truly have nurtured all things for this
purpose. How, then, can anyone be veiled from Him? For this have I called
upon God, and will continue to call upon Him. He, verily, is nigh, ready
to answer."

And likewise, He saith: "They will even refuse unto that Tree, which is
neither of the East nor of the West, the name believer, for were they so

(Jesus) saying: "The dispensation of John hath not yet ended; wherefore
hast thou come?" Now, too, they that have repudiated Us, though they have
never known Us and have been at all times ignorant of the fundamentals of
this Cause, knowing not from Whom it proceeded or what it signifieth, have
spoken that which hath made all created things to sigh and lament. By My
life! The mute can never confront the One Who incarnateth in Himself the
kingdom of utterance. Fear God, O people, and peruse, then, that which
hath been sent down with truth in the eighth Chapter of the sixth Vahid of
the Bayan, and be not of such as have turned aside. He, likewise, hath
commanded: "Once every nineteen days this Chapter should be read, th
