كَ وَاسْتِقْرارِهِ عَلَى ما أَرَيْتَهُ فِيْ رِياضِ المُكاشَفَةِ وَالشُّهُودِ عِنْدَ تَجَلِّي أَنْوارِ أَحَدِيَّتِكَ قَدْ تَحَرَّكَتِ العِبادُ شَوْقًا إِلى مَلَكُوتِكَ وَسَرُعَ مَنْ فِيْ البِلادِ مُقْبِلاً إِلى جَبَرُوتِكَ، وَبِحَرَكَتِهِ فِيْ سَبِيلِكَ اسْتَقامَ المُخْلِصُونَ بِأَر
Shoghi Effendi Translation
I bear witness that in His person solidity and fluidity have been joined and combined. Through His immovable constancy in Thy Cause, and His unwavering adherence to whatsoever Thou, in the plentitude of the light of Thy glory, didst unveil to His eyes, throughout the domains of Thy Revelation and creation, the souls of Thy servants were stirred up in their longing for Thy Kingdom, and the dwellers of Thy realms rushed forth to enter into Thy heavenly dominion. Through the restlessness He evinced in Thy path, the feet of all them that are devoted to Thee were steeled and confirmed to manifest Thy Cause amidst Thy creatures, and to demonstrate Thy sovereignty throughout Thy realm.
