notes	"O My Friends! Have ye forgotten that true and radiant morn, when in those hallowed and blessed surroundings ye were all gathered in My presence beneath the shade of the tree of life, which is planted in the all-glorious paradise? Awestruck ye listened as I gave utterance to these three most holy words: O friends! Prefer not your will to Mine, never desire that which I have not desired for you, and approach Me not with lifeless hearts, defiled with worldly desires and cravings. Would ye but sanctify your souls, ye would at this present hour recall that place and those surroundings, and the truth of My utterance should be made evident unto all of you." – Bahá'u'lláh, The Hidden Words, Persian, no. 19 The "true and radiant morn" is the dawn of the Covenant, and the first light of the Testament of the Day-Star of the world. The "Tree of Anisa"5 is the blessed tree which hath flourished in the Most Great Paradise and casteth its shadow upon all regions. ('Abdu'l-Bahá, from a Tablet -- translated from the Persian) By the term "that true and radiant morn" mentioned in the Hidden Words is meant the Dawn of divine Revelation when the Exalted One6 manifested Himself in the plenitude of His glory, while the Blessed Tree referreth to the Ancient Beauty. By those "surroundings" is meant the realm of the heart and of the spirit, and the gathering of the people implieth a spiritual communion, not a physical one. However when the Call of God was raised in the realm of the heart and spirit, mankind remained heedless and inattentive, and therefore was dumbfounded. ('Abdu'l-Bahá, from a Tablet to an individual -- translated from the Persian) 5. In Shoghi Effendi's translation of the Hidden Words, the term "Tree of Anisa" is rendered by him as the "tree of life". 6. The Báb – From Hidden Words: References of 'Abdu'l-Bahá and Shoghi Effendi, no. 17 and 18
