Source (Persian)
يا شيخ نغمات انجيل را باذن انصاف بشنو قوله عزّ بيانه که از بعد اخبار ميفرمايد [ و امّا ذلک اليوم و تلک السّاعة فلا يعلم بهما احدٌ و لا الملائکة الّذين فی السّماء و لا الابن الّا الأب ] و مقصود از اب در اين مقام حقّ جلّ جلاله است و اوست مربّی حقيقی و معلّم معنوی *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O Shaykh! Hearken unto the melodies of the Gospel with the ear of fairness. He saith - glorified be His utterance - prophesying the things that are to come: "But of that Day and Hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father." By Father in this connection is meant God - exalted be His glory. He, verily, is the True Educator, and the Spiritual Teacher.
