CXLVI: It is Our wish and desire that every one of… |
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.
