“O PEOPLE of the earth! By the righteousness of the One …” |

O PEOPLE of the earth! By the righteousness of the One
true God, I am the Maid of Heaven begotten by the Spirit
of Bahá, abiding within the Mansion hewn out of a mass of
ruby, tender and vibrant; and in this mighty Paradise
naught have I ever witnessed save that which proclaimeth
the Remembrance of God by extolling the virtues of this
Arabian Youth. Verily there is none other God but your
Lord, the All-Merciful. Magnify ye, then, His station, for
behold, He is poised in the midmost heart of the All-Highest
Paradise as the embodiment of the praise of God
in the Tabernacle wherein His glorification is intoned.

At one time I hear His Voice as He acclaimeth Him Who
is the Ever-Living, the Ancient of Days, and at another
time as He speaketh of the mystery of His most august
Name. And when He intoneth the anthems of the greatness
of God all Paradise waileth in its longing to gaze on
His Beauty, and when He chanteth words of praise and
glorification of God all Paradise becomes motionless like
unto ice locked in the heart of a frost-bound mountain.
Methinks I visioned Him moving along a straight middle
path wherein every paradise was His Own paradise, every
heaven His Own heaven, while the whole earth and all that
is therein appeared but as a ring upon the finger of His
55
servants. Glorified be God, His Creator, the Lord of everlasting
sovereignty. Verily He is none other but the servant
of God, the Gate of the Remnant of God your Lord, the
Sovereign Truth. Chapter XXIX.
