أن ادخلوا یا قوم في هذا الفضآء الّذي ما قدّر له من أوّل ولا من آخر وفیه ارتفع ندآء الله وتهبّ روایح قدسه المنیع ولا تجعلوا أجسادكم عریًّا عن ردآء العزّ ولا قلوبكم عن ذكر ربّكم ولا سمعكم عن استماع نغماته الأبدع الأمنع العزیز الأفصح البلیغ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Strive, O people, to gain admittance into this vast Immensity for which God ordained neither beginning nor end, in which His voice hath been raised, and over which have been wafted the sweet savors of holiness and glory. Divest not yourselves of the Robe of grandeur, neither suffer your hearts to be deprived of remembering your Lord, nor your ears of hearkening unto the sweet melodies of His wondrous, His sublime, His all-compelling, His clear, and most eloquent voice.
