Kitab-i-Aqdas/Page2/GPT4 36

(36) Among people, there are those who humble themselves like the straps of sandals, seeking the chest of glory. Say, "Who are you, O negligent and deceitful one?" And among them are those who claim to comprehend the innermost and the innermost of the innermost. Say, "O liar, by God, you have nothing. Indeed, it is the outer layers that we have left for you, just as bones are left for dogs. By God, the truth is, if one were to wash the feet of the world and worship God in the thickets, the wilderness, the mountains, the valleys, and the hilltops, and at every stone, tree, meadow, and never deviates from it, my approval would never be accepted." This is what the Lord of all beings has decreed.

How many a servant has secluded himself in the islands of India, depriving himself of what God has permitted him, enduring hardships and tribulations, yet does not mention before God the station of the signs. Do not make your actions a partnership of hopes, and do not deprive yourselves of this goal, which was the hope of the near ones in the primordial past. Say, "The spirit of actions is my satisfaction, and everything is contingent upon my acceptance." Read the tablets so you may know what is intended in the books of God, the Mighty, the Bestower. Whoever succeeds in my love, it is his right to sit on the bed of contentment in the heart of existence. As for the one who is deprived, even if he were to sit on the ground, he seeks refuge from it with God, the Lord of all religions.
