XLI: God is My witness, O people! I was asleep… |
God is My witness, O people! I was asleep
on My couch, when lo, the Breeze of God wafting
over Me roused Me from My slumber. His quickening
Spirit revived Me, and My tongue was unloosed
to voice His Call. Accuse Me not of having transgressed
against God. Behold Me, not with your eyes
91
but with Mine. Thus admonisheth you He Who is
the Gracious, the All-Knowing. Think ye, O people,
that I hold within My grasp the control of God’s
ultimate Will and Purpose? Far be it from Me to
advance such claim. To this I testify before God, the
Almighty, the Exalted, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
Had the ultimate destiny of God’s Faith been
in Mine hands, I would have never consented, even
though for one moment, to manifest Myself unto
you, nor would I have allowed one word to fall from
My lips. Of this God Himself is, verily, a witness.
