God witnesseth that there is no God but Him, the Gracious, the Best-Beloved. All grace and
bounty are His. To whomsoever He will He giveth
whatsoever is His wish. He, verily, is the All-Powerful,
the Almighty, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.
We, verily, believe in Him Who, in the
person of the Báb, hath been sent down by the Will
of the one true God, the King of Kings, the All-Praised.
We, moreover, swear fealty to the One Who,
in the time of Mustagháth, is destined to be made
manifest, as well as to those Who shall come after
Him till the end that hath no end. We recognize in
the manifestation of each one of them, whether outwardly
or inwardly, the manifestation of none but
God Himself, if ye be of those that comprehend.
Every one of them is a mirror of God, reflecting
naught else but His Self, His Beauty, His Might and
Glory, if ye will understand. All else besides them are
to be regarded as mirrors capable of reflecting the
glory of these Manifestations Who are themselves the
Primary Mirrors of the Divine Being, if ye be not
devoid of understanding. No one hath ever escaped
them, neither are they to be hindered from achieving
their purpose. These Mirrors will everlastingly succeed
each other, and will continue to reflect the light
of the Ancient of Days. They that reflect their glory
will, in like manner, continue to exist for evermore,
for the Grace of God can never cease from flowing.
This is a truth that none can disprove. |
