Source (Arabic)

تفکّر فرمائید که سبب چه بوده که در ازمنهٔ ظهور مظاهر رحمن اهل امکان دوری میجستند و بر اعراض و اعتراض قیام مینمودند اگر ناس در این فقره که از قلم امر جاری شده تفکّر نمایند جمیع بشریعهٴ باقیهٴ الهیّه بشتابند و شهادت دهند بر آنچه او شهادت داده ولکن حجبات اوهام انام را در ایّام ظهور مظاهر احدیّه و مطالع عزّ صمدانیّه منع نموده و مینماید چه که در آن ایّام حقّ بآنچه خود اراده فرموده ظاهر میشود نه بارادهٴ ناس چنانچه فرموده: ﴿أَفَکُلَّمَا جَآءَکُم رَسُولٌ بِمَا لَا تَهْوَی أَنْفُسُکُم اسْتَکْبَرْتُم فَفَرِیْقًا

Shoghi Effendi Translation

Ponder awhile. What is it that prompted, in every Dispensation, the peoples of the earth to shun the Manifestation of the All-Merciful? What could have impelled them to turn away from Him and to challenge His authority? Were men to meditate on these words which have flowed from the Pen of the Divine Ordainer, they would, one and all, hasten to embrace the truth of this God-given, and ever-enduring Revelation, and would testify to that which He Himself hath solemnly affirmed. It is the veil of idle imaginations which, in the days of the Manifestations of the Unity of God and the Daysprings of His everlasting glory, hath intervened, and will continue to intervene, between them and the rest of mankind. For in those days, He Who is the Eternal Truth manifesteth Himself in conformity with that which He Himself hath purposed, and not according to the desires and expectations of men. Even as He hath revealed: “So oft, then, as an Apostle cometh to you with that which your souls desire not, do ye swell with pride, and treat some as impostors, and slay others.”
