و همچنين ميفرمايد [ بيان از اوّل تا اخر مکمن جميع صفات اوست و خزانه نار و نور او ] انتهی * سبحان اللّه عرف اين بيان انسان را اخذ مينمايد چه که بکمال حزن ميفرمايد انچه را که مشاهده مينمايد * و همچنين بجناب حرف حيّ يعنی ملّا باقر عليه بهاء اللّه و عنايته ميفرمايد [ لعلّک فی ثمانية سنة يوم ظهوره تدرک لقاءه ] انتهی *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
And likewise, He saith: "The Bayán is from beginning to end the repository of all of His attributes, and the treasury of both His fire and His light." Great God! The soul is carried away by the fragrance of this utterance, inasmuch as He declareth, with infinite sadness, that which He perceiveth. Likewise, He saith to the Letter of the Living, Mullá Báqir - upon him be the glory of God and His loving-kindness: "Haply thou mayest in eight years, in the day of His Revelation, attain unto His Presence."
