     It is Our wish and desire that every one of
you may become a source of all goodness unto men, 
and an example of uprightness to mankind.  Beware 
lest ye prefer yourselves above your neighbors.  Fix 
your gaze upon Him Who is the Temple of God 
amongst men.  He, in truth, hath offered up His life 
as a ransom for the redemption of the world.  He, 
verily, is the All-Bountiful, the Gracious, the Most 
High.  If any differences arise amongst you, behold 
Me standing before your face, and overlook the faults 
of one another for My name’s sake and as a token 
of your love for My manifest and resplendent Cause. 
We love to see you at all times consorting in amity 
and concord within the paradise of My good-pleasure, 
and to inhale from your acts the fragrance of friendliness 
and unity, of loving-kindness and fellowship. 
316
Thus counselleth you the All-Knowing, the Faithful. 
We shall always be with you; if We inhale the perfume 
of your fellowship, Our heart will assuredly rejoice, 
for naught else can satisfy Us.  To this beareth 
witness every man of true understanding.
