(٣٣) ﴿ ای برادر من ﴾
از لسان شکرينم کلمات نازنينم شنو و از لب نمکينم سلسبيل قدس معنوی بياشام * يعنی تخمهای حکمت لدنّيم را در ارض طاهر قلب بيفشان و بآب يقين آبش ده تا سنبلات علم و حکمت من سر سبز از بلده طيّبه انبات نمايد *
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(33) O MY BROTHER!
Hearken to the delightsome words of My honeyed tongue, and quaff the stream of mystic holiness from My sugar-shedding lips. Sow the seeds of My divine wisdom in the pure soil of thy heart, and water them with the water of certitude, that the hyacinths of My knowledge and wisdom may spring up fresh and green in the sacred city of thy heart.
