Source (Arabic)
براستی میگویم امر بشأنی عظیم است که پدر از پسر و پسر از پدر فرار مینماید در حضرت نوح و کنعان مشاهده کنید انشآءالله باید در این ایّام روحانی از نسایم سبحانی و فیوضات ربیع رحمانی محروم نمانید باسم معلوم منقطعًا عن العلوم برخیزید و ندا فرمائید قسم بآفتاب افق امر در آن حین فرات علوم الهیّه را از قلب جاری مشاهده نمائید و انوار حکمت ربّانیّه را بی‌پرده بیابید اگر حلاوت بیان رحمن را بیابی از جان بگذری و در سبیل دوست انفاق نمائی
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Verily I say, such is the greatness of this Cause that the father flieth from his son, and the son flieth from his father. Call ye to mind the story of Noah and Canaan. God grant that, in these days of heavenly delight, ye may not deprive yourselves of the sweet savors of the All-Glorious God, and may partake, in this spiritual Springtime, of the outpourings of His grace. Arise in the name of Him Who is the Object of all knowledge, and, with absolute detachment from the learning of men, lift up your voices and proclaim His Cause. I swear by the Daystar of Divine Revelation! The very moment ye arise, ye will witness how a flood of Divine knowledge will gush out of your hearts, and will behold the wonders of His heavenly wisdom manifested in all their glory before you. Were ye to taste of the sweetness of the sayings of the All-Merciful, ye would unhesitatingly forsake your selves, and would lay down your lives for the Well-Beloved.
