You had written that one of the friends had composed a treatise which was presented for consideration. This is what we have revealed in response today: what is written must be observed with utmost care to avoid causing disagreements or becoming a point of criticism. What the friends of truth speak of today is audible to the people of the earth in the Tablet of Wisdom. This verse has descended, 'Indeed, the ears of those who turn away are extended towards Us so that they may hear what they object to against God, the Sustainer, the Everlasting.' This clause is not without importance; whatever is written must not deviate from wisdom and must be hidden in the words of nature like milk, so that the children of the age may be nurtured by it and attain maturity. We have previously stated that one word is like spring, making the world of hearts fresh and joyful, and another word is like a scorching wind that burns flowers and prayers. God willing, the authors among the friends of truth should write what just souls accept and what does not become a point of criticism among the people.
