Source (Persian)
البابُ المذکورُ فی بَيانِ اَنَّ شمسَ الحقيقةِ وَ مظهَرَ نفسِ اللّهِ لَيَکُونَنَّ سُلطاناً عَلی مَن فِی السَّمواتِ و الاَرضِ و إن لَنْ يُطيعَهُ اَحدٌمن اهلِ الاَرضِ و غَنيّاً عن کُلِّ مَنْ فِی المُلکِ و إن لَم يَکُنْ عِندَهُ دينار. کَذلِکَ نُظهِرُ لَکَ من اسرارِ الاَمرِ و نُلقی عَلَيکَ مِن جواهِرِالحکمَةِ لِتَطيرَنَّ بِجَناحَی الاِنقطاعِ فِی الهَواء الَّذی کانَ عَنِ الاَبصارِ مَستوراً.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Verily He Who is the Day-star of Truth and Revealer of the Supreme Being holdeth, for all time, undisputed sovereignty over all that is in heaven and on earth, though no man be found on earth to obey Him. He verily is independent of all earthly dominion, though He be utterly destitute. Thus We reveal unto thee the mysteries of the Cause of God, and bestow upon thee the gems of divine wisdom, that haply thou mayest soar on the wings of renunciation to those heights that are veiled from the eyes of men.
