O Thou the Supreme Word of God! Fear not, nor be Thou
grieved, for indeed unto such as have responded to Thy Call, whether men or
women, We have assured forgiveness of sins, as known in the presence of the
Best Beloved and in conformity with what Thou desirest. Verily His knowledge
embraceth all things. I adjure Thee by My life, set Thy face towards Me and be
not apprehensive. Verily Thou art the Exalted One among the Celestial
Concourse, and Thy hidden Mystery hath, of a truth, been recorded upon the
Tablet of creation in the midst of the Burning Bush. Ere long God will bestow
upon Thee rulership over all men, inasmuch as His rule transcendeth the whole
of creation. - The Báb (From the Qayyumu’l-Asma, ‘Selections from the
Writings of the Báb’)
