Source (Arabic)
ای بندگان هر که از این چشمه چشید بزندگی پاینده رسید و هر که ننوشید از مردگان شمرده شد بگو ای زشت‌کاران آز شما را از شنیدن آواز بی‌نیاز دور نمود او را بگذارید تا راز کردگار بیابید و او مانند آفتاب جهانتاب روشن و پدیدار است
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O My servants! Whoso hath tasted of this Fountain hath attained unto everlasting Life, and whoso hath refused to drink therefrom is even as the dead. Say: O ye workers of iniquity! Covetousness hath hindered you from giving a hearing ear unto the sweet voice of Him Who is the All-Sufficing. Wash it away from your hearts, that His Divine secret may be made known unto you. Behold Him manifest and resplendent as the sun in all its glory.
