In
this day He Who is the Lord, the Ruler, the Fashioner, and the Refuge of the
world hath appeared. Let every ear be eager to hearken unto that which will be
revealed from the kingdom of His will; let every eye be expectant to gaze upon
that which will shine forth from the Daystar of knowledge and wisdom. By Him
Who is the Desire of the world! This is the day for eyes to see and for ears to
hear, for hearts to perceive and for tongues to speak forth. Blessed are they
that have attained thereunto; blessed are they that have sought after and
recognized it! This is the day whereon every man may accede unto everlasting
honour, for whatsoever hath streamed forth from the Pen of Glory in regard to
any soul is adorned with the ornament of immortality. Again, blessed are they
that have attained thereunto!
