O Javád! The manifold bounties of God have ever been and
will continue to be vouchsafed unto thee. Praised be God! Thou hast been
shielded from the most great terror and hast succeeded in drawing nigh unto the
Most Great Bounty at a time when all men were prevented from recognizing the
eternal King by the interposition of the veils of outward glory, namely the
divines of this day. Cherish thou as dearly as thine own life this testimony
pronounced by the All-Glorious Pen and strive with all thy might to preserve it
by the potency of the Name of Him Who is the Beloved One of the entire
creation, that this sublime honour may be proof against the eyes and the hands
of robbers. Verily thy Lord is the Expounder, the All-Knowing.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
