Gleanings — Paragraph 184

Source (Arabic)

لیس حزني سجني ولا ذلّتي ابتلائي بین أیدي الأعدآء لعمري إنّها عزّ قد جعلها الله طراز نفسه إن أنتم من العارفین بذلّتي ظهرت

Translation

I sorrow not for the burden of My imprisonment. Neither do I grieve over My abasement, or the tribulation I suffer at the hands of Mine enemies. By My life! They are My glory, a glory wherewith God hath adorned His own Self. Would that ye know it!
