Source (Arabic)
و ظاهر ساخت در هر کدام آثار عظمت و قدرت و قوّت و احاطهٴ حقّ جلّ جلاله ظاهر و مشهود است در قوّهٴ لامسه تفکّر نما که جمیع بدن را احاطه نموده و مقرّ سمع و بصر واحد و مقرّ او تمام بدن جلّت عظمته
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Every one of these gifts is an undoubted evidence of the majesty, the power, the ascendancy, the all-embracing knowledge of the one true God — exalted be His glory. Consider the sense of touch. Witness how its power hath spread itself over the entire human body. Whereas the faculties of sight and of hearing are each localized in a particular center, the sense of touch embraceth the whole human frame. Glorified be His power, magnified be His sovereignty!
