Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 371 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
و حقّ بنفسه قرب و بعد ندارد مقدّس است از این مقامات و نسبت او بکلّ علی حدّ سوآء بوده این قرب و بعد از مظاهر ظاهر
Shoghi Effendi Translation
It should be remembered in this connection that the one true God is in Himself exalted beyond and above proximity and remoteness. His reality transcendeth such limitations. His relationship to His creatures knoweth no degrees. That some are near and others are far is to be ascribed to the manifestations themselves.
