Kitab-i-Badi/English272

Say: By God, every time He descends in the statement, He returns to a point, and at that time it is grasped with the palm of power and might. And we want to elaborate it again in spite of yourselves, O lords[141] of the polytheists, just as we have explained it time after time. And this is from a time when the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth feared it, then the inhabitants of the cities of the names, if you are of the knowers. Say: It was my soul, and at that time his soul appeared with truth and spoke between the heavens and the earth, and he says with truth: All signs have returned to my signs and were sent in my words and appeared with my permission and descended from the sky with my will, if you are of those who are certain. Then all the appearances ended with my appearance, and all the easts shone with my rising, and all the risings were surprised by my rising and my appearance. Where are the eyes of the beholder, where are the hearts of the gnostic, where are the hearts of the sanctified, where are the souls of the pure, and where are the breasts of enlightenment to know, comprehend, look and bear witness to what appeared and shone from the horizon of God, the Almighty, the Mighty, the Great?
