Epistle to the Son of the Wolf — Paragraph 177

Source (Persian)

اگر قدری تفکّر نمائی شهادت ميدهی بر حکمت و قدرت و سلطنت حقّ جلّ جلاله * معدودی که از امر اگاه نه و با ما نبوده‌اند گفته‌اند انچه را که اشياء کلّها و نفوس مطمئنّه راضيه مرضيّه گواهی داده‌اند بر کذب ان نفوس غافله * حال اگر ان جناب همّت فرمايند حقيقت امر بر عالميان کشف شود و ناس را از اين ظلمات مظلم صيلم نجات بخشد * لو لا البهاء من يقدر ان ينطق امام وجوه الانام و لو لاه من يقدر ان يتکلّم بما امر به من لدی اللّه ربّ الجنود

Translation

Wert thou to ponder a while, thou wouldst bear witness unto the wisdom, and the power, and the sovereignty of God, exalted be His glory. The few who were unaware of this Cause, and had not met Us, have spoken in such a manner that all things, and those souls who are well assured, pleased, and pleasing unto God, have testified unto the imposture of these heedless ones. Wert thou now to exert thyself, the truth of this Cause would be made apparent unto mankind, and the people would be delivered from this grievous and oppressive darkness. Who else but Bahá can speak forth before the face of men, and who else but He can have the power to pronounce that which He was bidden by God, the Lord of Hosts?
