We fain would hope that the Persian Government will adopt it and carry it out.  At present, a new language and a new script have been devised.  If thou desirest, We will communicate them to thee.  Our purpose is that all men may cleave unto that which will reduce unnecessary labor and exertion, so that their days may be befittingly spent and ended.  God, verily, is the Helper, the Knower, the Ordainer, the Omniscient.

God willing, Persia may be adorned with, and attain unto, that whereof she hath thus far been deprived.  Say:  “O Shah!  Exert thyself so that all the peoples of the world may be illumined with the effulgent splendors of the sun of thy justice.  The eyes of this Wronged One are turned towards naught save trustworthiness, truthfulness, purity, and all that profiteth men.”  Regard Him not as a traitor.  Glorified art Thou, O my God, and my Master, and my Mainstay!  Aid Thou His Majesty the Shah to execute Thy laws and Thy commandments, and show forth Thy justice among Thy servants.  Thou art, verily, the All-Bounteous, the Lord of grace abounding, the Almighty, the All-Powerful.  The Cause of God hath come as a token of His grace.  Happy are they who act; happy are they who understand; happy the man that hath clung unto the truth, detached from all that is in the heavens and all that is on earth.

O Shay_kh_!  Seek thou the shore of the Most Great Ocean, and enter, then, the Crimson Ark which God hath ordained in the Qayyum-i-Asma for the people of Baha.  Verily, it passeth over land and sea.  He that entereth therein is saved, and he that turneth aside perisheth.  Shouldst thou enter therein and attain unto it, set thy face towards the Kaaba of God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting, and say:  “O my God!  I beseech Thee by Thy most glorious light, and all Thy lights are verily glorious.”  Thereupon, will the doors of the Kingdom be flung wide before thy face, and thou wilt behold what eyes have never beheld, and hear what ears have never heard.  This Wronged One exhorteth thee as He hath exhorted thee before, and hath never had any wish for thee save that thou shouldst enter the ocean of the unity of God, the Lord of the worlds.  This is the day whereon all created things cry out, and announce unto men this Revelation, through which hath appeared what was concealed and preserved in the knowledge of God, the Mighty, the All-Praised.

O Shay_kh_!  Thou hast heard the sweet melodies of the Doves of Utterance cooing on the boughs of the Lote-Tree of knowledge.  Hearken, now, unto the notes of the Birds of Wisdom upraised in the Most Sublime Paradise.  They verily will acquaint thee with things of which thou wert wholly unaware.  Give ear unto that which the Tongue of Might and Power hath spoken in the Books of God, the Desire of every understanding heart.  At this moment a Voice was raised from the Lote-Tree beyond which there is no passing, in the heart of the Most Sublime Paradise,
