O my servant! O Joseph! Hear the tone of God and do not
compare this day with any other day, neither the wonderful, sweet Word of God
with any other words; look to the apparent matters with thine own eye, and do
not follow anyone in knowing the Greatest and Brilliant Orb.
In this day, the beloved of God must not hesitate or delay an instant in teaching the Cause of the Manifestation, and must summon the people continually, with great admonition and conciliating words, to the Religion of Majestic Oneness; because, verily, in this day, to the soul who is the cause of guidance to another soul the recompense of a martyr in the way of God will be assuredly recorded by the Pen of the Cause, for his deed.
