حال در شکايت نقطه اولی از مرايا تفکّر نمائيد شايد سبب انتباه گردد و عباد از شمال اوهام و ظنون بيمين ايمان و ايقان توجّه نمايند و اگاه گردند بانچه که از او محجوبند مع انکه از عالم نيستی بهستی مخصوص عرفان اين امر اعظم امدهاند * و همچنين ميفرمايد [ و اجعل اللّهمّ تلک الشّجرة کلّها له ليظهرنّ منها ثمرات ما قد خلق اللّه فيها لمن قد اراد اللّه ان يظهر به ما اراد فانّني انا و عزّتک ما اردت ان يکون علی تلک الشّجرة من غصن و لا ورق و لا ثمر لن يسجد له يوم ظهوره و لا يسبّحک به بما ينبغی لعلوّ علوّ ظهوره و سموّ سموّ بطونه و ان شهدت يا الهی عَلَیَّ من غصن او ورق او ثمر لم يسجد له يوم ظهوره فاقطعه اللّهمّ عن تلک الشّجرة فانّه لم يکن منّی و لا يرجع إِلَیَّ ] انتهی *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Ponder now upon the complaint of the Primal Point against the Mirrors, that haply men may be awakened, and may turn from the left hand of idle fancies and imaginings unto the right hand of faith and certitude, and may be made cognizant of that wherefrom they are veiled. It is indeed for the purpose of recognizing this Most Great Cause that they have come out of the world of non-existence into the world of being. And likewise He saith: "Consecrate Thou, O my God, the whole of this Tree unto Him, that from it may be revealed all the fruits created by God within it for Him through Whom God hath willed to reveal all that He pleaseth. By Thy glory! I have not wished that this Tree should ever bear any branch, leaf, or fruit that would fail to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, or refuse to laud Thee through Him, as beseemeth the glory of His all-glorious Revelation, and the sublimity of His most sublime Concealment. And shouldst Thou behold, O my God, any branch, leaf, or fruit upon Me that hath failed to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, cut it off, O My God, from that Tree, for it is not of Me, nor shall it return unto Me."
