and
recognize this most luminous Horizon,
that haply the clamor of men may
fail to deter them from turning their gaze towards the effulgent light of
Thy unity,
and to hinder them from setting their faces toward the Horizon
of detachment.
This is the Day,
O my Lord,
which Thou didst announce unto all mankind as
the Day whereon Thou wouldst reveal Thy Self,
and shed Thy radiance,
and
shine brightly over all Thy creatures.
Thou hast,
moreover,
entered into a
covenant with them,
in Thy Books,
and Thy Scriptures,
and Thy Scrolls,
and
Thy Tablets,
concerning Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation,
and
hast appointed the Bayán to be the Herald of this Most Great and
all-glorious Manifestation,
and this most resplendent and most sublime
Appearance.
And when the world's horizon was illumined,
and He Who is the Most Great
Name was manifested,
all disbelieved in Him and in His signs,
except such
as have been carried away by the sweetness of Thy glorification and
praise.
There befell Him what must remain inscrutable to everyone except
Thee,
Whose knowledge transcendeth all who are in Thy heaven and all who
are on Thy earth.
Thou well knowest,
O my God,
that the Revealer of the Bayán (the Báb) hath
commanded all mankind concerning Thy Cause,
and Thy Revelation,
and Thy
Sovereignty.
He hath said,
and sweet is His speech:
"Beware lest the Bayán
and its Letters keep you back from Him Who is the Most Merciful and from
His sovereignty.
" He,
moreover,
hath written:
"Were He to produce no more
than one verse,
ye must not deny Him.
Haste ye towards Him,
that haply He
may cause to descend upon you what He pleaseth,
as a token of His grace
unto you.
He truly is the Possessor of His servants,
and the King of
creation.
"
Thou seest,
then,
O Thou Who art the Beloved of the world and the Revealer
of the Most Great Name,
how He hath come down with the kingdom of His
signs,
and in a manner that hath caused the atoms of the earth to testify
that the whole world hath been filled with these signs.
And yet,
notwithstanding this most manifest and all-glorious Revelation,
and these
signs which none can appraise except Thee,
O Thou the King of names,
Thou
beholdest how they have broken off from Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thine
Essence,
and have caviled at the One Who is the Fountain-Head of Thy
wisdom and of Thine utterance.
They were so seized with thirst for fame,
that they rejected Thy tokens,
and Thy testimonies,
and Thy signs,
which
every man of insight perceiveth in whatsoever declareth Thy greatness,
