How high is the
testimony of the Sadratu’l-Muntahá for its leaf [the Greatest Holy Leaf]; how
exalted the witness of the Tree of Life unto its fruit! Through My remembrance
of her a fragrance laden with the perfume of musk hath been diffused; well is
it with him that hath inhaled it and exclaimed: ‘All praise be to Thee, O God,
my Lord the most glorious!’ How sweet thy presence before Me; how sweet to gaze
upon thy face, to bestow upon thee My loving-kindness, to favour thee with My
tender care, to make mention of thee in this, My Tablet—a Tablet which I have
ordained as a token of My hidden and manifest grace unto thee.
