Source (Arabic)
ته ثمّ عظمته وکبریائه فویل لکم یا معشر المغلّین اسمعوا قولي ولا تصبروا أَقَلَّ من آنٍ وکذلک أمرکم جمال الرّحمن لعلّ تنقطعنّ عمّا عندکم وتصعدنّ إلی هوآء الّذي تشهدنّ في ظلّ الأمر کلّ العالمین قل لا مهرب لأحد
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Blinded are your eyes! Perceived ye not the greatness of the power of God and of His sovereignty? Beheld ye not His majesty and glory? Woe unto you, ye congregation of the malicious and envious! Hearken unto My speech, and tarry not though it be for less than a moment. Thus biddeth you He Who is the Beauty of the All-Merciful, that haply ye may detach yourselves from the things ye possess, and ascend to the heights from which ye can discover the whole creation sheltered beneath the shadow of His Revelation.
