Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 414 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
نسأل الله ان یوفّق الکلّ و یعرّفهم نفسه و انفسهم لعمری من فاز بعرفانه یطیر فی هوآء حبّه و ینقطع عن العالمین و لا یلتفت الی من علی الأرض کلّها و کیف الّذین یتکلّمون بأهوائهم ما لا اذن الله لهم
Shoghi Effendi Translation
We beseech God that He may graciously vouchsafe His grace unto all men, and enable them to attain the knowledge of Him and of themselves. By My life! Whoso hath known Him shall soar in the immensity of His love, and shall be detached from the world and all that is therein. Nothing on earth shall deflect him from his course, how much less they who, prompted by their vain imaginations, speak those things which God hath forbidden.
