Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 63 of 291.

Source (Persian)

چشم انصاف اگر باز شود از جميع اين بيانات مشهود می گردد که مُظهر همه اين امور و نتيجه همه اليوم ظاهر است. با اينکه امثال اين امور در اين ظهور واقع نشده با وجود اين متمسّک به ظنونات انفس مردوده شده، چه نسبت ها که دادهاند و چه بلايا که وارد آوردهاند که در ابداع شبه آن به ظهور نيامده.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

If the eye of justice be opened, it will readily recognize, in the light of that which hath been mentioned, that He, Who is the Cause and ultimate Purpose of all these things, is made manifest in this day. Though similar events have not occurred in this Dispensation, yet the people still cling to such vain imaginings as are cherished by the reprobate. How grievous the charges brought against Him! How severe the persecutions inflicted upon Him—charges and persecutions the like of which men have neither seen nor heard!
