Source (Arabic)
لک بما سافرت من الله إلی الله ودخلت بقعة البقآء مقرّ الّذي کان عن ذکر العالمین منزوها واهتزّک أریاح القدس في حبّ مولاک وطهّرک مآء العرفان عن دنس کلّ مشرک مردودًا وبلغت إلی رضوان الذّکر في هذا الذّکر الّذي کان علی هیکل الإنسان مشهودًا إِذًا فاشکر الله
Shoghi Effendi Translation
His glory be with thee, inasmuch as thou hast journeyed from God unto God, and entered within the borders of the Court of unfading splendor — the Spot which mortal man can never describe. Therein hath the breeze of holiness, laden with the love of thy Lord, stirred thy spirit within thee, and the waters of understanding have washed from thee the stains of remoteness and ungodliness. Thou hast gained admittance into the Paradise of God’s Remembrance, through thy recognition of Him Who is the Embodiment of that Remembrance amongst men.
