Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 381 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
مثلاً تجلّی شمس اسم ربّ را در کلّ ملاحظه نمائید چه که در کلّ آثار تجلّی این اسم مشهود است و تربیت کلّ منوط باو و تربیت هم دو قسم است یک قسم آن محیط بر کلّ است و کلّ را تربیت میفرماید و رزق میدهد چنانچه خود را ربّ العالمین فرموده و قسم دیگر مخصوص بنفوسی است که در ظلّ این اسم در این ظهور اعظم وارد شده‌اند ولکن نفوس خارجه از این مقام محروم و از مائدهٴ احدیّه که از سماء فضل این اسم اعظم نازل ممنوعند چه نسبت است آن نفوس را مع این نفوس لو کشف الغطآء لینصعق من فی الأکوان من مقامات الّذین توجّهوا الی الله و انقطعوا فی حبّه عن العالمین و موحّد در این دو طائفه تجلّی این دو اسم را ملاحظه مینماید بقسمی که مذکور شد چه که اگر اخذ تجلّی شود کلّ هالک خواهند بود
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Consider, for instance, the revelation of the light of the Name of God, the Educator. Behold, how in all things the evidences of such a revelation are manifest, how the betterment of all beings dependeth upon it. This education is of two kinds. The one is universal. Its influence pervadeth all things and sustaineth them. It is for this reason that God hath assumed the title, “Lord of all worlds.” The other is confined to them that have come under the shadow of this Name, and sought the shelter of this most mighty Revelation. They, however, that have failed to seek this shelter, have deprived themselves of this privilege, and are powerless to benefit from the spiritual sustenance that hath been sent down through the heavenly grace of this Most Great Name. How great the gulf fixed between the one and the other! If the veil were lifted, and the full glory of the station of those that have turned wholly towards God, and have, in their love for Him, renounced the world, were made manifest, the entire creation would be dumbfounded. The true believer in the Unity of God will, as it hath already been explained, recognize, in the believer and the unbeliever, the evidences of the revelation of both of these Names. Were this revelation to be withdrawn, all would perish.
