Source (Arabic)
قل خَلِّصُوا أنفسكم يا قوم ثمّ طَهِّرُوها عن التّوجّه إلى غيري وبذكري يُطَهَّر كلّ شيء إن أنتم من العارفين قل اليوم لو يخلّصنّ كلّ الأشياء عن حجبات النّفس والهوى ليلبس الله كلّها قميص يفعل ما يشاء في ملكوت الإنشاء ليظهر آية سلطانه في كلّ شيء فتعالى من هذا السّلطان المقتدر المهيمن
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Say: Deliver your souls, O people, from the bondage of self, and purify them from all attachment to anything besides Me. Remembrance of Me cleanseth all things from defilement, could ye but perceive it. Say: Were all created things to be entirely divested of the veil of worldly vanity and desire, the Hand of God would in this Day clothe them, one and all, with the robe “He doeth whatsoever He willeth in the kingdom of creation,” that thereby the sign of His sovereignty might be manifested in all things. Exalted then be He, the Sovereign Lord of all, the Almighty, the Supreme Protector, the All-Glorious, the Most Powerful.
