Source (Arabic)

حال انصاف دهید که شهادت اینها مقبول و مسموعست که قولشان و فعلشان موافق و ظاهرشان و باطنشان مطابق بنحوی که تاهت العقول فی افعالهم و تحیّرت النّفوس فی اصطبارهم و بما حملت اجسادهم و یا شهادت این معرضین که بجز هوای نفس نفسی برنیارند و از قفس ظنونات باطله نجاتی نیافته‌اند و در یوم سر از فراش برندارند مگر چون خفّاش ظلمانی در طلب دنیای فانیه کوشند و در لیل راحت نشوند مگر در تدبیرات امورات دانیه کوشند بتدبیر نفسانی مشغول گشته و از تقدیر الهی غافل شده‌اند روز بجان در تلاش معاشند و شب در تزیین اسباب فراش آیا در هیچ شرع و ملّتی جایز است که باعراض این نفوس محدوده متمسّک شوند و از اقبال و تصدیق نفوسی که از جان و مال و اسم و رسم و ننگ و نام در رضای حقّ گذشته‌اند اغفال نمایند...

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Be fair: Is the testimony of those acceptable and worthy of attention whose deeds agree with their words, whose outward behavior conforms with their inner life? The mind is bewildered at their deeds, and the soul marveleth at their fortitude and bodily endurance. Or is the testimony of these faithless souls who breathe naught but the breath of selfish desire, and who lie imprisoned in the cage of their idle fancies, acceptable? Like the bats of darkness, they lift not their heads from their couch except to pursue the transient things of the world, and find no rest by night except as they labor to advance the aims of their sordid life. Immersed in their selfish schemes, they are oblivious of the Divine decree. In the daytime they strive with all their soul after worldly benefits, and in the night season their sole occupation is to gratify their carnal desires. By what law or standard could men be justified in cleaving to the denials of such petty-minded souls and in ignoring the faith of them that have renounced, for the sake of the good pleasure of God, their life and substance, their fame and renown, their reputation and honor?…
