Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 709 of 729.

Source (Arabic)

الله ما نزّل فی الألواح است بقسمی که بهیچوجه از خود اراده و مشیّتی نداشته باشند اینست مقام توحید حقیقی از خدا بخواهید در

Shoghi Effendi Translation

It behooveth thee to consecrate thyself to the Will of God. Whatsoever hath been revealed in His Tablets is but a reflection of His Will. So complete must be thy consecration, that every trace of worldly desire will be washed from thine heart. This is the meaning of true unity.
