Gleanings — §434
Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 434 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
کمال الیوم مقامات عنایات الهی مستور است چه که عرصهٴ وجود استعداد ظهور آن را نداشته و ندارد ولکن سوف یظهر امراً من عنده انّه لا تضعفه قوّة الجنود و لا سطوة الملوک ینطق بالحقّ و یدع الکلّ الی الفرد الخبیر
Shoghi Effendi Translation
O Kamál! The heights which, through the most gracious favor of God, mortal man can attain, in this Day, are as yet unrevealed to his sight. The world of being hath never had, nor doth it yet possess the capacity for such a revelation. The day, however, is approaching when the potentialities of so great a favor will, by virtue of His behest, be manifested unto men. Though the forces of the nations be arrayed against Him, though the kings of the earth be leagued to undermine His Cause, the power of His might shall stand unshaken. He, verily, speaketh the truth, and summoneth all mankind to the way of Him Who is the Incomparable, the All-Knowing.
