Gleanings — Paragraph 333

Source (Arabic)

ای مردمان چراغ یزدان روشن است آن را ببادهای نافرمانی خاموش منمائید روز ستایش است بآسایش تن و آلایش جان مپردازید اهریمنان در کمین‌گاهان ایستاده‌اند آگاه باشید و بروشنی نام خداوند یکتا خود را از تیرگیها آزاد نمائید دوست‌بین باشید

Translation

Say: O people! The Lamp of God is burning; take heed, lest the fierce winds of your disobedience extinguish its light. Now is the time to arise and magnify the Lord, your God. Strive not after bodily comforts, and keep your heart pure and stainless. The Evil One is lying in wait, ready to entrap you. Gird yourselves against his wicked devices, and, led by the light of the name of the one true God, deliver yourselves from the darkness that surroundeth you. Center your thoughts in the Well-Beloved, rather than in your own selves.
