Source (Arabic)
(٦٦) ﴿ يَا أَبْناءَ الْهُوِيَّةِ فِي الْغَيْبِ ﴾
سَتُمْنَعُونَ عَنْ حُبِّي وَتَضْطَرِبُ النُّفُوسُ مِنْ ذِكْرِي؛ لأَنَّ الْعُقُولَ لَنْ تَطيقَنِي وَالْقُلُوبَ لَنْ تَسَعَني.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(66) O CHILDREN OF THE DIVINE AND INVISIBLE ESSENCE!
Ye shall be hindered from loving Me and souls shall be perturbed as they make mention of Me. For minds cannot grasp Me nor hearts contain Me.
