We have, therefore, sufficiently explained unto thee the significance of this holy Verse and We hath summarized the elucidation of its meaning, for previously We hath explained it with various phrases and symbolic expressions that hath been widely dispersed and dismayed the minds of the learned. But as for thee, be content with regards to what hath been sent down upon thee on this blessed night, the Night in which God hath appointed among the nights wherein the destiny of all things hath been determined from the Presence of the Mighty, the Self-Subsisting. Though should ye find what the Pen of divine Power hath inscribed upon these luminous Tablets to be insufficient, then turn unto that which hath been previously written by these glorious and well known Fingers, for the Fire of Oneness hath been set ablaze through the Bush of Words, yet none shall desire to attain thereto except those who profess the Unity of God. Upon its branches are Doves, all of which were created from the Fire of Divinity, and none can hear their melody except those who hath detached themselves from all save God. So by God! Should ye attune thy vision acutely, ye shall surely obtain all that is knowable from what hath been written in these Tablets and ye shall be freed from all things except Him, and this is certainly a well-established truth.
