they must assuredly renounce him, refuse to
submit to his law, declare him an infidel, and laugh
him to scorn. This is proved by that which came
to pass when the sun of the Muhammadan Revelation
was revealed. Had they sought with a humble
mind from the Manifestations of God in every
Dispensation the true meaning of these words revealed
in the sacred books--words the misapprehension
of which hath caused men to be deprived
of the recognition of the Sadratu'l-Muntaha, the
ultimate Purpose--they surely would have been
guided to the light of the Sun of Truth, and would
have discovered the mysteries of divine knowledge
and wisdom.
This servant will now share with thee a dewdrop
out of the fathomless ocean of the truths treasured
in these holy words, that haply discerning hearts
may comprehend all the allusions and the implications
of the utterances of the Manifestations of
Holiness, so that the overpowering majesty of the
Word of God may not prevent them from attaining
unto the ocean of His names and attributes, nor
deprive them of recognizing the Lamp of God
which is the seat of the revelation of His glorified
Essence.
