After being 28 linked, the symbolic expressions in the realm of limitation and the majestic explanations in the realm of constitution were brought forth. Through such means the possessors of knowledge affirm the mysteries of wisdom which floweth from the glorious, well known Pen. Therefore, be informed that every Letter and Word returneth unto this Sublime Alif and this Evident Inscription, could ye but observe with the vision of the heart, and it is indeed a manifestation of the Letters which cannot be symbolically expressed. Thus hath the knowledge from His Presence been sent down by virtue of the truth, could ye but appreciate the value thereof and understand. Otherwise, beseech ye the Lord thy God to teach thee through the agency of His own knowledge and relate unto thee that which shall free thee from those who hath been beguiled by the Signs of God and proceedeth unto the abyss of darkness. The fury of the fire hath hemmed them in on all sides and they are sweating profusely within, yet know it not.
