ای برادر من شخص مجاهد که اراده نمود قدم طلب و سلوک در سبیل معرفت سلطان قدم گذارد باید در بدایت امر قلب را که محلّ ظهور و بروز تجلّی اسرار غیبی الهی است از جمیع غبارات تیرهٔ علوم اکتسابی و اشارات مظاهر شیطانی پاک و منزّه فرماید و صدر را که سریر ورود و جلوس محبّت محبوب ازلی است لطیف و نظیف نماید و همچنین دل را از علاقهٔ آب و گل یعنی از جمیع نقوش شبحیّه و صور ظلّیّه مقدّس گرداند بقسمی که آثار حبّ و بغض در قلب نماند که مبادا آن حبّ او را بجهتی بیدلیل میل دهد و یا بغض او را از جهتی منع نماید چنانچه الیوم اکثری باین دو وجه از وجههٴ باقی و حضرت معانی بازمانده‌اند و بی‌شبان در صحراهای ضلالت و نسیان میچرند

Shoghi Effendi Translation

O My brother! When a true seeker determineth to take the step of search in the path leading unto the knowledge of the Ancient of Days, he must, before all else, cleanse his heart, which is the seat of the revelation of the inner mysteries of God, from the obscuring dust of all acquired knowledge, and the allusions of the embodiments of satanic fancy. He must purge his breast, which is the sanctuary of the abiding love of the Beloved, of every defilement, and sanctify his soul from all that pertaineth to water and clay, from all shadowy and ephemeral attachments. He must so cleanse his heart that no remnant of either love or hate may linger therein, lest that love blindly incline him to error, or that hate repel him away from the truth. Even as thou dost witness in this Day how most of the people, because of such love and hate, are bereft of the immortal Face, have strayed far from the Embodiments of the Divine mysteries, and, shepherdless, are roaming through the wilderness of oblivion and error.
