Whosoever… recognizeth and acknowledgeth the Dawning-place
of God’s Revelation, will be recorded in the Book of God among them that are
endued with understanding. Otherwise he is naught but an ignorant soul, though
he believe himself to be possessed of every wisdom…[W]ere a person to see
himself standing in the presence of God, were he to sanctify his soul from
earthly attachments and evil intentions, and reflect upon that which hath been
revealed in this most great Revelation from its inception to this day, he would
readily testify that every detached soul, every perfect mind, sanctified being,
attentive ear, penetrating eye, eloquent tongue, and joyous and radiant heart
circleth round and boweth down, nay prostrateth itself in submission, before
the mighty throne of God.
