Source (Arabic)
(٤٧) ﴿ يَا ابْنَ الإِنْسانِ ﴾
وَجَمالِي تَخَضُّبُ شَعْرِكَ مِنْ دَمِكَ لَكانَ أَكْبَرَ عِنْدي عَنْ خَلْقِ الكَوْنَيْنِ وَضِياءِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ، فَاجْهَد فِيهِ يا عَبْدُ.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(47) O SON OF MAN!
By My beauty! To tinge thy hair with thy blood is greater in My sight than the creation of the universe and the light of both worlds. Strive then to attain this, O servant!
