Kitab-i-Badi/English772

Beware, O people, of clinging to names and objecting to Him who created them by order of Him. There is no god but He, the Powerful, the Knowing, the Wise. Say: He created the names as He created everything. You are of the worlds. Every possessor of power is helpless under the authority of his power, and every possessor of knowledge is ignorant before his knowledge, and every possessor of riches is poor before his door which has been opened to the face of all creatures. Don't let the names keep you away from their source. Avoid those who clung to it and were devoted to it! Say: The Prophet is he who hears my news and believes in my soul, the Messenger[410] is he who conveys my messages, the imam is he who rises before my face and wins my days, the guardian is he who enters the fortress of my state and is cut off from me, and the trustee is he who entrusts himself, then the servants with my love And remembrance and duality. Likewise, the sun of eloquence shone on the horizon of the will of your Lord, the Most Merciful, in this holy, abstaining, exalted, impenetrable pleasure. Praise be to God, my beloved and the beloved of those who know.
