Source (Persian)
يا اهل بيان لعمر اللّه اين مظلوم خيالی نداشته الّا اظهار امريکه بان مامور بوده * اگر بسمع فطرت توجّه نمائيد از جميع ارکان و اعضاء و عروق حتّی از موهای مظلوم اصغا مينمائيد انچه را که سبب توجّه و انجذاب ملأ اعلی و ناسوت انشا است *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O people of the Bayán! I swear by God! This Wronged One hath had no other intention except to manifest the Cause He was commissioned to reveal. Were ye to incline your inner ears unto Him, ye would hear from every limb and member and vein and even from every single hair of this Wronged One that which would stir and enrapture the Concourse on high and the world of creation.
