“IN the manifestation of the Apostle of God all were eagerly …” |
Likewise in the manifestation of the Point of the Bayán,
the people stood up at the mention of His Name and fervently
implored His advent night and day, and if they
dreamt of Him they gloried in their dreams; yet now that
He hath revealed Himself, invested with the mightiest
testimony, whereby their own religion is vindicated, and
despite the incalculable number of people who yearningly
anticipate His coming, they are resting comfortably in
their homes, after having hearkened to His verses; while
He at this moment is confined in the mountain of Mákú,
lonely and forsaken.

Take good heed of yourselves, O people of the Bayán,
lest ye perform such deeds as to weep sore for His sake
night and day, to stand up at the mention of His Name, yet
on this Day of fruition—a Day whereon ye should not only
arise at His Name, but seek a path unto Him Who personifies
85
that Name—ye shut yourselves out from Him as
by as veil. VI, 15.
