و بدایع حکمت حضرت سبحانی را در آن شهر روحانی مشاهده کند و جمیع علوم مکنونه را از اطوار ورقهٔ شجرهٔ آن مدینه استماع نماید و از تراب آن مدینه تسبیح و تقدیس ربّ الأرباب بگوش ظاهر و باطن شنود و اسرار رجوع و ایاب را بچشم سر ملاحظه فرماید
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Therein he will discern the wonders of His ancient Wisdom, and will perceive all the hidden teachings from the rustling leaves of the Tree that flourisheth in that City. With both his inner and outer ear, he will hear from its dust the hymns of glory and praise ascending unto the Lord of Lords, and with his inner eye will he discover the mysteries of “return” and “revival.”
