associate itself with this generation whose tongues are sullied and whose
hearts are false. And whenever I chose to hold my peace and be still, lo,
the voice of the Holy Ghost, standing on my right hand, aroused me, and
the Supreme Spirit appeared before my face, and Gabriel overshadowed me,
and the Spirit of Glory stirred within my bosom, bidding me arise and
break my silence. If your hearing be purged and your ears be attentive, ye
will assuredly perceive that every limb of my body, nay all the atoms of
my being, proclaim and bear witness to this call: “God, besides Whom is
none other God, and He, Whose beauty is now manifest, is the reflection of
His glory unto all that are in heaven and on earth.”

O people! I swear by the one true God! This is the Ocean out of which all
seas have proceeded, and with which every one of them will ultimately be
united. From Him all the Suns have been generated, and unto Him they will
all return. Through His potency the Trees of Divine Revelation have
yielded their fruits, every one of which hath been sent down in the form
of a Prophet, bearing a Message to God’s creatures in each of the worlds
whose number God, alone, in His all-encompassing Knowledge, can reckon.
This He hath accomplished through the agency of but one Letter of His
Word, revealed by His Pen—a Pen moved by His directing Finger—His Finger
itself sustained by the power of God’s Truth.
