82 These people, however, have turned aside from all this and placed
instead their affections upon that which accordeth with their own corrupt
inclinations. Thus do they roam in the wilderness of arrogance and pride.
I bear witness at this moment that God is wholly quit of them, and
likewise are We. We beseech God to suffer Us not to associate with them
either in this life or in the life to come. He, verily, is the Eternal
Truth. No God is there but Him, and His might is equal to all things.

83 Quaff then, O My brother, from the living waters that We have caused to
flow in the oceans of these words. Methinks the seas of grandeur are
surging within them, and the gems of divine virtue are shining within and
upon them. Divest then thyself of that which debarreth thee from this
fathomless crimson sea, and to the cry of “In the name of God and by His
grace!” immerse thyself therein. Let the fear of no one dismay thee. Trust
in the Lord, thy God, for He is sufficient unto whosoever trusteth in Him.
He, verily, shall protect thee, and in Him shalt thou abide in safety.

84 Know thou, moreover, that in this most hallowed and resplendent city
thou shalt find the wayfarer to be lowly before all men and humble before
all things. For naught doth he behold save that he perceiveth God therein.
He beholdeth the effulgent glories of God in the lights of His Revelation
that have encompassed the Sinai of creation. In this station the wayfarer
must not claim the seat of honour in any gathering or walk before others
in the desire to vaunt and exalt himself. Rather must he regard himself as
standing at all times in the presence of his Lord. He must not wish for
anyone that which he doth not wish for himself, nor speak that which he
would not bear to hear spoken by another, nor yet desire for any soul that
which he would not have desired for himself. It befitteth him, rather, to
walk upon the earth with undeviating steps in the kingdom of His new
creation.
