By Thy glory! I have
not wished that this Tree should ever bear any branch, leaf, or fruit that
would fail to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, or refuse
to laud Thee through Him, as beseemeth the glory of His all-glorious
Revelation, and the sublimity of His most sublime Concealment. And
shouldst Thou behold, O my God, any branch, leaf, or fruit upon Me that
hath failed to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, cut it
off, O My God, from that Tree, for it is not of Me, nor shall it return
unto Me.
"He--glorified be His mention--resembleth the sun. ..."
He--glorified be His mention--resembleth the sun. Were unnumbered mirrors to
be placed before it, each would, according to its capacity, reflect the
splendour of that sun, and were none to be placed before it, it would
still continue to rise and set, and the mirrors alone would be veiled from
its light. I, verily, have not fallen short of My duty to admonish that
people, and to devise means whereby they may turn towards God, their Lord,
and believe in God, their Creator. If, on the day of His Revelation, all
that are on earth bear Him allegiance, Mine inmost being will rejoice,
inasmuch as all will have attained the summit of their existence, and will
have been brought face to face with their Beloved, and will have
recognized, to the fullest extent attainable in the world of being, the
splendour of Him Who is the Desire of their hearts. If not, My soul will
indeed be saddened.
