Gleanings — §308

Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 308 of 729.

Source (Arabic)

مثلاً اگر سراج در تحت فانوس حدید واقع شود ابداً نور او در خارج ظاهر نه مع آنکه در مقام خود روشن بوده در آفتاب خلف سحاب ملاحظه فرمائید که در رتبهٴ خود روشن و مضیء است ولکن نظر بسحاب حائله نور او ضعیف مشاهده میشود و همین آفتاب را روح انسانی ملاحظه فرمائید و جمیع اشیاء را بدن او که جمیع بدن بافاضه و اشراق آن نور روشن و مضیء ولکن این مادامی است که اسباب مانعهٴ حائله منع ننماید و حجاب نشود و بعد از حجاب ظهور نور شمس ضعیف مشاهده میشود

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Consider the lamp which is hidden under a bushel. Though its light be shining, yet its radiance is concealed from men. Likewise, consider the sun which hath been obscured by the clouds. Observe how its splendor appeareth to have diminished, when in reality the source of that light hath remained unchanged. The soul of man should be likened unto this sun, and all things on earth should be regarded as his body. So long as no external impediment interveneth between them, the body will, in its entirety, continue to reflect the light of the soul, and to be sustained by its power. As soon as, however, a veil interposeth itself between them, the brightness of that light seemeth to lessen.
