Source (Arabic)
حال قدری تفکّر نمائید که دوستان حقّ در چه مقام باید حرکت نمایند و در چه هوا طیران کنند ان اسأل الله ربّک الرّحمن فی کلّ الأحیان بأن یوفّقهم علی ما اراد انّه لهو المقتدر العزیز العلّام
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Reflect awhile, and consider how they who are the loved ones of God must conduct themselves, and to what heights they must soar. Beseech thou, at all times, thy Lord, the God of Mercy, to aid them to do what He willeth. He, verily, is the Most Powerful, the All-Glorious, the All-Knowing.
