Kitab-i-Badi/English121

All of you were created to meet him and to be present in that great, great situation. And that He may send down from the heavens of His goodness what is best for you, and what He sent down from Him is that He will suffice you from the worlds. Not everyone who has knowledge will benefit his knowledge, nor everyone who has virtue, nor everyone who has greatness, nor everyone who has power, nor everyone who remembers his remembrance, nor everyone who does his work, nor everyone who bows his bowing, nor everyone who prostrates his prostration, nor everyone who directs his direction. Not every person of honor is his honor, not everyone of high lineage is his lineage, not everyone of the lineage of the Exalted is according to him, not everyone who has clarification, not everyone who has light is his light, and not everyone who has a name is his name. Because all of that and everything that you have known and comprehended, all of it, was created by His saying “Be” and it is, and that if He willed, He would send the possible things with a word from Him, that He might, and that He was above that for Predestination, Powerful, Powerful.
