Source (Persian)
در نفوذ کلمه نظر نما جميع اين نفوس را اوّل بسبّ و لعن امر نمودند و لکن هيچ کدام اراده خود را بر ارادة اللّه مقدّم نداشت *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Do thou ponder on the penetrative influence of the Word of God. Every single one of these souls was first ordered to blaspheme and curse his faith, yet none was found to prefer his own will to the Will of God.
