And likewise, He saith:  “He—­glorified be His mention—­resembleth the sun.  Were unnumbered mirrors to be placed before it, each would, according to its capacity, reflect the splendor of that sun, and were none to be placed before it, it would still continue to rise and set, and the mirrors alone would be veiled from its light.  I, verily, have not fallen short of My duty to admonish that people, and to devise means whereby they may turn towards God, their Lord, and believe in God, their Creator.  If, on the day of His Revelation, all that are on earth bear Him allegiance, Mine inmost being will rejoice, inasmuch as all will have attained the summit of their existence, and will have been brought face to face with their Beloved, and will have recognized, to the fullest extent attainable in the world of being, the splendor of Him Who is the Desire of their hearts.  If not, My soul will indeed be saddened.  I truly have nurtured all things for this purpose.  How, then, can anyone be veiled from Him?  For this have I called upon God, and will continue to call upon Him.  He, verily, is nigh, ready to answer.”

And likewise, He saith:  “They will even refuse unto that Tree, which is neither of the East nor of the West, the name believer, for were they so to name Him, they would fail to sadden Him.”  Hath thine ear, O world, heard with what helplessness these words were revealed from the dayspring of the will of Him Who is the Dawning-Place of all names?  He saith:  “I have educated all men, that they may recognize this Revelation, and yet the people of the Bayan refuse to concede even the name believer to that blessed Tree that belongeth neither to the East nor to the West.”  Alas, alas, for the things which have befallen Me!  By God!  There befell Me at the hands of him whom I have nurtured (Mirza Yahya), by day and by night, what hath caused the Holy Spirit, and the dwellers of the Tabernacle of the Grandeur of God, the Lord of this wondrous Day, to lament.

Likewise, refuting certain disbelievers, He saith:  “For none knoweth the time of the Revelation except God.  Whenever it appeareth, all must acknowledge the Point of Truth, and render thanks unto God.”  They that have turned aside from Me have spoken even as the followers of John (the Baptist) spoke.  For they, too, protested against Him Who was the Spirit (Jesus) saying:  “The dispensation of John hath not yet ended; wherefore hast thou come?” Now, too, they that have repudiated Us, though they have never known Us and have been at all times ignorant of the fundamentals of this Cause, knowing not from Whom it proceeded or what it signifieth, have spoken that which hath made all created things to sigh and lament.  By My life!  The mute can never confront the One Who incarnateth in Himself the kingdom of utterance.  Fear God, O people, and peruse, then, that which hath been sent down with truth in the eighth Chapter of the sixth Vahid of the Bayan, and be not of such as have turned aside.  He, likewise, hath commanded:  “Once every nineteen days this Chapter should be read, that haply they may not be veiled, in the time of the revelation of Him Whom God shall make manifest, by considerations foreign to the verses, which have been, and are still, the weightiest of all proofs and testimonies.”
