For today, it is incumbent upon every soul, in the sight of God, to observe with their eyes, ears, and hearts His cause and to contemplate so that they may be illumined and benefit from the marvels of the Compassionate's mercy and the effusions of the Sublime Presence with the illuminations of the sun of meanings. The reason that has deprived all people from meeting God and has preoccupied them with other than Him is that they have deemed their delusions to be sufficient and have been content with what they have heard from the likes of themselves. They have walked the perilous paths of imitation and have been deprived of the paths of abstraction. When the divine command appeared like a radiant dawn and was manifest, some have been veiled from perceiving it. The reason is that they have contaminated their ears and hearts with the pollution of the words of people. Otherwise, if the observer is aligned with the true measure of divine knowledge, they will never be deprived of the path of guidance. Observe your own state; matters are of two kinds: either those who articulate are connected with divine power, or not. If they do not confess, we have no words for these souls, for they are considered among the previous religions who have deemed the Hand of God to be chained, as the Lord of Glory has informed with His exalted statement: "God's hand is chained."
