(١٨) ﴿ ای اهل فردوس برين ﴾ اهل يقين را اخبار نمائيد که در فضای قدس قرب رضوان روضه جديدی ظاهر گشته و جميع اهل عالين و هياکل خلد برين طائف حول آن گشته‌اند * پس جهدی نمائيد تا بآن مقام درآئيد و حقائق اسرار عشق را از شقايقش جوئيد و جميع حکمتهای بالغه احديّه را از اثمار باقيه‌اش بيابيد * قرّت أبصار الّذين هم دخلوا فيه آمنين *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

(18) O YE DWELLERS IN THE HIGHEST PARADISE! Proclaim unto the children of assurance that within the realms of holiness, nigh unto the celestial paradise, a new garden hath appeared, round which circle the denizens of the realm on high and the immortal dwellers of the exalted paradise. Strive, then, that ye may attain that station, that ye may unravel the mysteries of love from its wind-flowers and learn the secret of divine and consummate wisdom from its eternal fruits. Solaced are the eyes of them that enter and abide therein!
