Revelation, and fail to produce any proof, do not
protest, and sadden Him not." Briefly, this Wronged One hath, night and
day, been uttering the words: "Say: O ye unbelievers!", that haply this
may be the means of awakening the people, and may adorn them with the
adornment of fairness.

And now, meditate upon these words, which diffuse the breath of despair,
in His sorrowful invocation unto God, the Lord of the worlds. He saith:
"Glorified art Thou, O My God! Bear Thou witness that, through this Book,
I have covenanted with all created things concerning the Mission of Him
Whom Thou shalt make manifest, ere the covenant concerning Mine own
Mission had been established. Sufficient witness art Thou and they that
have believed in Thy signs. Thou, verily, sufficest Me. In Thee have I
placed My trust, and Thou, verily, takest count of all things."

In another connection He saith: "O Sun-like Mirrors! Look ye upon the Sun

witness unto the Revelation of the True One, and in which the evidences of
his turning away from all else but Him, are clear and manifest, have been
sent by Us to Haydar-'Ali. The handwriting of the Siyyid is unmistakable,
and is known unto everyone. Our purpose in doing this was that perchance
they that have denied Us might attain unto the living waters of
acknowledgment, and such as have turned aside be illumined with the light
of conversion. God is My witness that this Wronged One hath had no purpose
except to convey the Word of God. Blessed are the fair-minded, and woe
betide them that have turned aside. They that have turned away from Me
have schemed many a time, and acted deceitfully in divers ways. They have,
on one occasion, secured a picture of this Siyyid, and pasted it on a
sheet with that of others, surm
