و در مقام ديگر ميفرمايد [ ان يا شموس المرآيا انتم الی شمس الحقيقة تنظرون فانّ قيامکم بها لو انتم تتبصّرون * کلّکم کحيتان بالماء فی البحر تتحرّکون و تحتجبون عن الماء و تسألون عمّا انتم به قائمون ] و همچنين ميفرمايد [ لاشکونّ اليک ان يا مرآة جودی عن کلّ المرايا کلٌّ بالوانهم إِلَیَّ لينظرون ] انتهی * اين خطاب از مصدر امر حضرت وهّاب بجناب سيّد جواد مشهور بکربلائی نازل حقّ شاهد و عالم گواه که ان سيّد با اين مظلوم بوده و در ردّ معرضين هم شرحی مبسوط نوشته و دو لوح هم که در ان از ظهور حقّ گواهی داده و از دونش اشارات اعراض ظاهر و هويدا نزد جناب حيدر قبل عَلِیّ فرستاديم و خطّ او نزد کلّ معلوم و واضحست * و مقصود از اين عمل انکه شايد منکرين بفرات اقرار فائز شوند و معرضين بنور اقبال منوّر گردند * حقّ شاهد که اين مظلوم مقصودی جز القای کلمه الهی نداشته طوبی للمنصفين و ويل للمعرضين * معرضين تدبيرها نمودهاند و بحيلها تمسّک جستهاند * از جمله صورت اين سيّد را گرفتهاند و همچنين صور بعضی را بعد هر کدام را در ورقی چسباندهاند و فوق اينها صورت ميرزا يحيی را * باری بهر اسبابی از برای انکار حقّ تمسّک جستهاند * قل

Shoghi Effendi Translation
In another connection He saith: "O Sun-like Mirrors! Look ye upon the Sun of Truth. Ye, verily, depend upon it, were ye to perceive it. Ye are all as fishes, moving in the waters of the sea, veiling yourselves therefrom, and yet asking what it is on which ye depend." And likewise, He saith: "I complain unto thee, O Mirror of My generosity, against all the other Mirrors. All look upon Me through their own colors." These words were sent down from the Source of the Revelation of the All-Bounteous, and were addressed to Siyyid Javád, known as Karbilá'i. God testifieth, and the world beareth Me witness that this Siyyid stood by this Wronged One, and even wrote a detailed refutation against them that turned aside from Me. Two communications, moreover, in which he hath borne witness unto the Revelation of the True One, and in which the evidences of his turning away from all else but Him, are clear and manifest, have been sent by Us to Ḥaydar-‘Alí. The handwriting of the Siyyid is unmistakable, and is known unto everyone. Our purpose in doing this was that perchance they that have denied Us might attain unto the living waters of acknowledgment, and such as have turned aside be illumined with the light of conversion. God is My witness that this Wronged One hath had no purpose except to convey the Word of God. Blessed are the fair-minded, and woe betide them that have turned aside. They that have turned away from Me have schemed many a time, and acted deceitfully in divers ways. They have, on one occasion, secured a picture of this Siyyid, and pasted it on a sheet with that of others, surmounted by the portrait of Mírzá Yaḥyá. Briefly, they have seized upon every means in order to repudiate the True One. Say: "The True One is come evident as the shining sun; O pity that He should have come into the city of the blind!" The afore-mentioned Siyyid admonished the deniers, and summoned them unto the Most Sublime Horizon, but failed to impress these stones that can take no imprint. Concerning him they have said things against which he sought refuge with God - exalted be His glory. The supplications which he hath sent to this Holy Court are now in Our possession. Happy are the fair-minded.
