Source (Arabic)

بیت گردند تا باینمقام و رتبه که در حقایق ایشان مستودع است مشرّف و فائز شوند اینست که در جمیع اعهاد و ازمان انبیا و اولیا با قوّت ربّانی و قدرت صمدانی در میان ناس ظاهر گشته و عقل سلیم هرگز راضی نشود که نظر ببعضی کلمات که معانی آن را ادراک ننموده این باب هدایت را مسدود انگارد و از برای این شموس و انوار ابتدا و انتهائی تعقّل نماید زیرا فیضی اعظم از این فیض کلّیّه نبوده و رحمتی اکبر از این رحمت منبسطهٴ الهیّه نخواهد بود و شکّی نیست که اگر در یک آن عنایت و فیض او از عالم منقطع شود البتّه معدوم گردد لهذا لم‌یزل ابواب رحمت حقّ بر وجه کون و امکان مفتوح بوده و لایزال امطار عنایت و مکرمت از غمام حقیقت بر اراضی قابلیّات و حقایق و اعیان متراکم و مفیض خواهد بود اینست سنّت خدا من الأزل الی الأبد

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Can one of sane mind ever seriously imagine that, in view of certain words the meaning of which he cannot comprehend, the portal of God’s infinite guidance can ever be closed in the face of men? Can he ever conceive for these Divine Luminaries, these resplendent Lights either a beginning or an end? What outpouring flood can compare with the stream of His all-embracing grace, and what blessing can excel the evidences of so great and pervasive a mercy? There can be no doubt whatever that if for one moment the tide of His mercy and grace were to be withheld from the world, it would completely perish. For this reason, from the beginning that hath no beginning the portals of Divine mercy have been flung open to the face of all created things, and the clouds of Truth will continue to the end that hath no end to rain on the soil of human capacity, reality and personality their favors and bounties. Such hath been God’s method continued from everlasting to everlasting.
