is explicitly stated in the Book. It
hath been demonstrated and definitely established,
through clear evidences, that by "Resurrection" is
meant the rise of the Manifestation of God to proclaim
His Cause, and by "attainment unto the
divine Presence" is meant attainment unto the
presence of His Beauty in the person of His Manifestation.
For verily, "No vision taketh in Him,
but He taketh in all vision." (1) Notwithstanding all
these indubitable facts and lucid statements, they
have foolishly clung to the term "seal," and remained
utterly deprived of the recognition of Him
Who is the Revealer of both the Seal and the Beginning,
in the day of His presence. "If God
should chastise men for their perverse doings, He
would not leave upon the earth a moving thing!
But to an appointed time doth He respite them." (2)
But apart from all these things, had this people
attained unto a drop of the crystal streams flowing
from the words: "God doeth whatsoever He willeth,
and ordaineth whatsoever He pleaseth," they
would not have raised any unseemly cavils, such as
these, against the focal Center of His Revelation.
The Cause of God, all deeds and words, are held
