Gleanings — §289
Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 289 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
آثار حقّ چون شمس بین آثار عباد او مشرق و لایح است و هیچ شأنی از شئون او بدون او مشتبه نگردد از مشرق علمش شموس علم و معانی مشرق و از رضوان مدادش نفحات رحمن مرسل فهنیئاً للعارفین
Shoghi Effendi Translation
The signs of God shine as manifest and resplendent as the sun amidst the works of His creatures. Whatsoever proceedeth from Him is apart, and will always remain distinguished, from the inventions of men. From the Source of His knowledge countless Luminaries of learning and wisdom have risen, and out of the Paradise of His Pen the breath of the All-Merciful hath continually been wafted to the hearts and souls of men. Happy are they that have recognized this truth.
