مشکوة بیان را این کلمه بمثابهٴ مصباح است ای اهل عالم همه بار یک دارید و برگ یک شاخسار بکمال محبّت و اتّحاد و مودّت و اتّفاق سلوک نمائید قسم بآفتاب حقیقت نور اتّفاق آفاق را روشن و منوّر سازد حقّ آگاه گواه این گفتار بوده و هست
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The utterance of God is a lamp, whose light is these words: Ye are the fruits of one tree, and the leaves of one branch. Deal ye one with another with the utmost love and harmony, with friendliness and fellowship. He Who is the Daystar of Truth beareth Me witness! So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth. The one true God, He Who knoweth all things, Himself testifieth to the truth of these words.
