Responds to objections to His claims raised by some Bábís, implores them not to be shut out from the truth by the veil of names, acknowledges the outward differences between sacred scriptures while asserting that this derives from the varying capacity of humanity, extols at length the revelation and the crucifixion of Jesus as having infused ‘a fresh capacity into all created things’, compares the Báb to John the Baptist and announces Himself to be the return of Christ, and declares that the purpose of His revelation, like Christ’s, is to bestow eternal life.

Laments the opposition of Mírzá Yaḥyá; contrasts the stations of belief and disbelief; considers and rejects various theories of the mystics concerning the relationship between God and creation; asserts that, the Godhead itself being unknowable, the means of access to the knowledge of God is through the channel of His prophets; and interprets a line of Rumi’s Mathnaví to the effect that the light of truth is one but that, cast through the glass of different souls, it takes on different tints and colours, which is both the cause of the denial of the religion of God and the source of conflict upon earth.
