Source (Arabic)
لا تَنْظُرِ الْخَلْقَ إِلاَّ بِعَيْنِ الرَّأْفَةِ وَالْوِدَادِ لأَنَّ رَحْمَتَنَا سَبَقَتِ الأَشْيَآءَ وَأَحَاطَ فَضْلُنَا الأَرَضِينَ وَالسَّمَواتِ، وَهَذَا يَوْمٌ فِيْهِ يُسْقَى الْمُخْلِصُونَ كَوْثَرَ اللِّقَاءِ وَالْمُقَرَّبُونَ سَلْسَبِيلَ الْقُرْبِ وَالْبَقَآءِ وَالْمُوَحِّدُونَ خَمْرَ الْوِصَالِ فِي هَذَا الْمَنَالِ الَّذِي فِيْهِ يَنْطِقُ لِسَانُ الْعَظَمَةِ وَالإِجْلالِ الْمُلْكُ لِنَفْسِي وَأَنَا الْمَالِكُ بِالاسْتِحْقَاقِ
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Look not upon the creatures of God except with the eye of kindliness and of mercy, for Our loving providence hath pervaded all created things, and Our grace encompassed the earth and the heavens. This is the Day whereon the true servants of God partake of the life-giving waters of reunion, the Day whereon those that are nigh unto Him are able to drink of the soft-flowing river of immortality, and they who believe in His unity, the wine of His Presence, through their recognition of Him Who is the Highest and Last End of all, in Whom the Tongue of Majesty and Glory voiceth the call: “The Kingdom is Mine. I, Myself, am, of Mine own right, its Ruler.”
