Source (Arabic)
ولم يكن هذا الذّكر منّي إليك لتكشف عنّي ضرّي أو توسّط لي عند أحد لا فوربّ العالمين، ولكن فصّلنا لك الأمور لعلّ تتنبّه في فعلك ولا ترد على أحد مثل ما ورّدت علينا وتكون من التّائبين إلى الله الّذي خلقك وكلّ شيء وتكون على بصيرة من بعد وهذا خير لك عمّا عندك وعن سفارتك في هذه الأيّام القليل،
Shoghi Effendi Translation
It is not Our purpose in addressing to thee these words to lighten the burden of Our woe, or to induce thee to intercede for Us with anyone. No, by Him Who is the Lord of all worlds! We have set forth the whole matter before thee, that perchance thou might realize what thou hast done, might desist from inflicting on others the hurt thou hast inflicted on Us, and might be of them that have truly repented to God, Who created thee and created all things, and might act with discernment in the future. Better is this for thee than all thou dost possess, than thy ministry whose days are numbered.
