Kitab-i-Badi/English276
By the one who sent me with the truth, I am perplexed about what he did in my right, because he sent me in days when the breezes of God, the Powerful, the Mighty, the All-Knowing, blew. And with that I was afflicted with what no one of the pure ones is afflicted with, and the All-Knowing, the All-Aware bears witness to that. Do you think that I speak on my own and exist with my presence? Not by the Lord of the worlds, but the winds of His will move me as He wills and wills. And whoever has the knowledge to find from the vibration of my soul the vibration of God, the King, the Powerful, the Overpowering, the Powerful. Can you calm down by yourself when you are seized by the thunderstorm with which all the members tremble? No, by Him who created you with truth, if you were of the sensed. Just as it moves you and you cannot still, so the winds of God's will move me. And if you want to object, object to it. And I am only a repentant slave, and I did not find for myself stillness, decision or movement except after His command. And no one denies that except every sinful transgressor.
