In another connection He saith:  “O Sun-like Mirrors!  Look ye upon the Sun of Truth.  Ye, verily, depend upon it, were ye to perceive it.  Ye are all as fishes, moving in the waters of the sea, veiling yourselves therefrom, and yet asking what it is on which ye depend.”  And likewise, He saith:  “I complain unto thee, O Mirror of My generosity, against all the other Mirrors.  All look upon Me through their own colors.”  These words were sent down from the Source of the Revelation of the All-Bounteous, and were addressed to Siyyid Javad, known as Karbila’i.

God testifieth, and the world beareth Me witness that this Siyyid stood by this Wronged One, and even wrote a detailed refutation against them that turned aside from Me.  Two communications, moreover, in which he hath borne witness unto the Revelation of the True One, and in which the evidences of his turning away from all else but Him, are clear and manifest, have been sent by Us to Haydar-’Ali.  The handwriting of the Siyyid is unmistakable, and is known unto everyone.  Our purpose in doing this was that perchance they that have denied Us might attain unto the living waters of acknowledgment, and such as have turned aside be illumined with the light of conversion.  God is My witness that this Wronged One hath had no purpose except to convey the Word of God.  Blessed are the fair-minded, and woe betide them that have turned aside.  They that have turned away from Me have schemed many a time, and acted deceitfully in divers ways.  They have, on one occasion, secured a picture of this Siyyid, and pasted it on a sheet with that of others, surmounted by the portrait of Mirza Yahya.  Briefly, they have seized upon every means in order to repudiate the True One.  Say:  “The True One is come evident as the shining sun; O pity that He should have come into the city of the blind!” The afore-mentioned Siyyid admonished the deniers, and summoned them unto the Most Sublime Horizon, but failed to impress these stones that can take no imprint.  Concerning him they have said things against which he sought refuge with God—­exalted be His glory.  The supplications which he hath sent to this Holy Court are now in Our possession.  Happy are the fair-minded.

Ponder now upon the complaint of the Primal Point against the Mirrors, that haply men may be awakened, and may turn from the left hand of idle fancies and imaginings unto the right hand of faith and certitude, and may be made cognizant of that wherefrom they are veiled.  It is indeed for the purpose of recognizing this Most Great Cause that they have come out of the world of non-existence into the world of being.  And likewise He saith:  “Consecrate Thou, O my God, the whole of this Tree unto Him, that from it may be revealed all the fruits created by God within it for Him through Whom God hath willed to reveal all that He pleaseth.  By Thy glory!  I have not wished that this Tree should ever bear any branch, leaf, or fruit that would fail to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, or refuse to laud Thee through Him, as beseemeth the glory of His all-glorious Revelation, and the sublimity of His most sublime Concealment.  And shouldst Thou behold, O my God, any branch, leaf, or fruit upon Me that hath failed to bow down before Him, on the day of His Revelation, cut it off, O My God, from that Tree, for it is not of Me, nor shall it return unto Me.”
