عباد
عالم بتصوّر موهوم چه مقدار جانها انفاق نموده و مینمایند و شما الحمد للّه بمقصود
فائزید و بموعود رسیدهاید باعانت حقّ جلّ جلاله این مقام را حفظ نمائید و بآنچه
سبب و علّت ارتفاع امر است تمسّک جوئید انّه یأمرکم بالمعروف و بما یرتفع به مقام
الانسان فی الامکان تعالی الرّحمن منزل هذا اللّوح البدیع
( حضرت
بهاءالله - منتخباتی از آثار حضرت بهاءالله )
Consider the multitude of
lives that have been, and are still being, sacrificed in a world deluded by a
mere phantom which the vain imaginations of its peoples have conceived. Render
thanks unto God, inasmuch as ye have attained unto your heart’s Desire, and
been united to Him Who is the Promise of all nations. Guard
ye, with the aid of the one true God—exalted be His glory—the integrity of the
station which ye have attained, and cleave to that which shall promote His
Cause. He, verily, enjoineth on you what is right and conducive to the
exaltation of man’s station. Glorified be the All-Merciful, the Revealer of
this wondrous Tablet.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
