Source (Arabic)
فی الحقيقه امروز روز مشاهده و اصغاست هم ندای الهی مرتفع است و هم أنوار وجه از أفق ظهور مشرق و لائح بايد جميع آنچه شنيده شد محو نمود و بعدل و انصاف در آيات و بيّنات و ظهورات ناظر شد
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Verily I say, this is the Day in which mankind can behold the Face, and hear the Voice, of the Promised One. The Call of God hath been raised, and the light of His countenance hath been lifted up upon men. It behooveth every man to blot out the trace of every idle word from the tablet of his heart, and to gaze, with an open and unbiased mind, on the signs of His Revelation, the proofs of His Mission, and the tokens of His glory.
