Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 199 of 268.

Source (Persian)

اين مظلوم لازال اهل عالم را بما يرفعهم و يقرّبهم دعوت نموده و از افق اعلی اشراق نموده انچه که از برای احدی مجال توقّف و اعراض و اعتراض نمانده و لکن غافلين را نفعی نبخشيده و لا يزيدهم الّا خسارا *

Shoghi Effendi Translation

This Wronged One hath, at all times, summoned the peoples of the world unto that which will exalt them, and draw them nigh unto God. From the Most Sublime Horizon there hath shone forth that which leaveth no room unto any one for vacillation, repudiation or denial. The wayward, however, have failed to profit therefrom; nay, it shall only increase their loss.
