The world’s equilibrium hath been upset through the vibrating influence of this most great, this new World Order.  Mankind’s ordered life hath been revolutionized through the agency of this unique, this wondrous System—­the like of which mortal eyes have never witnessed.

Immerse yourselves in the ocean of My words, that ye may unravel its secrets, and discover all the pearls of wisdom that lie hid in its depths.  Take heed that ye do not vacillate in your determination to embrace the truth of this Cause—­a Cause through which the potentialities of the might of God have been revealed, and His sovereignty established.  With faces beaming with joy, hasten ye unto Him.  This is the changeless Faith of God, eternal in the past, eternal in the future.  Let him that seeketh, attain it; and as to him that hath refused to seek it—­verily, God is Self-Sufficient, above any need of His creatures.

Say:  This is the infallible Balance which the Hand of God is holding, in which all who are in the heavens and all who are on the earth are weighed, and their fate determined, if ye be of them that believe and recognize this truth.  Say:  Through it the poor have been enriched, the learned enlightened, and the seekers enabled to ascend unto the presence of God.  Beware, lest ye make it a cause of dissension amongst you.  Be ye as firmly settled as the immovable mountain in the Cause of your Lord, the Mighty, the Loving.

“O ye peoples of the world!  Know assuredly that My...”

O ye peoples of the world!  Know assuredly that My commandments are the lamps of My loving providence among My servants, and the keys of My mercy for My creatures.  Thus hath it been sent down from the heaven of the Will of your Lord, the Lord of Revelation.  Were any man to taste the sweetness of the words which the lips of the All-Merciful have willed to utter, he would, though the treasures of the earth be in his possession, renounce them one and all, that he might vindicate the truth of even one of His commandments, shining above the Dayspring of His bountiful care and loving-kindness.

From My laws the sweet smelling savour of My garment can be smelled, and by their aid the standards of victory will be planted upon the highest peaks.  The Tongue of My power hath, from the heaven of My omnipotent glory, addressed to My creation these words:  ’Observe My commandments, for the love of My beauty.’  Happy is the lover that hath inhaled the divine fragrance of his Best-Beloved from these words, laden with the perfume of a grace which no tongue can describe.  By My life!  He who hath drunk the choice wine of fairness from the hands of My bountiful favour, will circle around My commandments that shine above the Dayspring of My creation.

Think not that We have revealed unto you a mere code of laws.  Nay, rather, We have unsealed the choice Wine with the fingers of might and power.  To this beareth witness that which the Pen of Revelation hath revealed.  Meditate upon this, O men of insight!...
