O Kamál! The heights which, through the
most gracious favor of God, mortal man can attain,
in this Day, are as yet unrevealed to his sight.
The world of being hath never had, nor doth it yet
possess the capacity for such a revelation. The day,
however, is approaching when the potentialities of
so great a favor will, by virtue of His behest, be
manifested unto men. Though the forces of the nations
be arrayed against Him, though the kings of
the earth be leagued to undermine His Cause, the
power of His might shall stand unshaken. He, verily,
speaketh the truth, and summoneth all mankind to
215
the way of Him Who is the Incomparable, the All-Knowing.

All men have been created to carry forward an
ever-advancing civilization. The Almighty beareth
Me witness: To act like the beasts of the field is unworthy
of man. Those virtues that befit his dignity
are forbearance, mercy, compassion and loving-kindness
towards all the peoples and kindreds of the earth.
Say: O friends! Drink your fill from this crystal
stream that floweth through the heavenly grace of
Him Who is the Lord of Names. Let others partake
of its waters in My name, that the leaders of men
in every land may fully recognize the purpose for
which the Eternal Truth hath been revealed, and
the reason for which they themselves have been created.
