و اگر شنيده شود از مظاهر جامعه: "إنّي أنا اللّه" حق است و ريبی در آن نيست چنانچه بکرّات مبرهن شد که بظهور و صفات و اسمای ايشان ظهور اللّه و اسم اللّه و صفة اللّه در ارض ظاهر اينست که ميفرمايد: ﴿وَ مَا رَمَيْتَ إذْ رَمَيْتَ وَلَکِنَّ اللّهَ رَمَی﴾ و همچنين: ﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يُبَايِعُونَکَ إِنَّمَا يُبَايِعُونَ اللّهَ﴾ و اگر نغمه: ﴿إِنَّي رَسُولُ اللّهِ﴾ برآرند اين نيز صحيح است و شکّی در آن نه چنانچه ميفرمايد: ﴿مَا کَانَ مُحَمَّدٌ أَبَا أَحَدٍ مِنْ رِجَالِکُمْ وَلَکِنْ رَسُولَ اللّهِ﴾ و در اين مقام همه مُرسلند از نزد آن سلطان حقيقی و کينونت ازلی و اگر جميع ندای: "أنا خاتم النّبيّين" بر آرند آنهم حق است و شبهه را راهی نه و سبيلی نه زيرا که جميع حکم يک ذات و يک نفس و يک روح و يک جسد و يک امر دارند و همه مظهر بدئيّت و ختميّت و اوّليت و آخريّت و ظاهريّت و باطنيّت آن روح الارواح حقيقی و ساذج السّواذج ازليند و همچنين اگر بفرمايند: "نحن عباد اللّه" اين نيز ثابت و ظاهر است چنانچه بظاهر در منتهی رتبه عبوديّت ظاهر شده‌اند احدی را يارای آن نه که به آن نحو از عبوديّت در امکان ظاهر شود اينست که از آن جواهر وجود در مقام استغراق در بحار قدس صمدی و ارتقاء بمعارج معانی سلطان حقيقی اذکار ربوبيّه و الوهيّه ظاهر شد

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Were any of the all-embracing Manifestations of God to declare: “I am God,” He, verily, speaketh the truth, and no doubt attacheth thereto. For it hath been repeatedly demonstrated that through their Revelation, their attributes and names, the Revelation of God, His names and His attributes, are made manifest in the world. Thus, He hath revealed: “Those shafts were God’s, not Thine.” And also He saith: “In truth, they who plighted fealty unto Thee, really plighted that fealty unto God.” And were any of them to voice the utterance, “I am the Messenger of God,” He, also, speaketh the truth, the indubitable truth. Even as He saith: “Muḥammad is not the father of any man among you, but He is the Messenger of God.” Viewed in this light, they are all but Messengers of that ideal King, that unchangeable Essence. And were they all to proclaim, “I am the Seal of the Prophets,” they, verily, utter but the truth, beyond the faintest shadow of doubt. For they are all but one person, one soul, one spirit, one being, one revelation. They are all the manifestation of the “Beginning” and the “End,” the “First” and the “Last,” the “Seen” and the “Hidden” — all of which pertain to Him Who is the Innermost Spirit of Spirits and Eternal Essence of Essences. And were they to say, “We are the Servants of God,” this also is a manifest and indisputable fact. For they have been made manifest in the uttermost state of servitude, a servitude the like of which no man can possibly attain. Thus in moments in which these Essences of Being were deep immersed beneath the oceans of ancient and everlasting holiness, or when they soared to the loftiest summits of Divine mysteries, they claimed their utterances to be the Voice of Divinity, the Call of God Himself.
