Source (Arabic)
بعد از عرفان مطلع توحید و مشرق تفرید دو امر لازم اوّل استقامت بر حبّش بشأنی که نعاق ناعقین و ادّعای مدّعین او را از حقّ منع ننماید و کأن لم یکن شیئاً انگارد و ثانی اتّباع اوامر او است که لمیزل مابین ناس بوده و خواهد بود و باو حقّ از باطل ممتاز و معلوم است...
Shoghi Effendi Translation
A twofold obligation resteth upon him who hath recognized the Dayspring of the Unity of God, and acknowledged the truth of Him Who is the Manifestation of His oneness. The first is steadfastness in His love, such steadfastness that neither the clamor of the enemy nor the claims of the idle pretender can deter him from cleaving unto Him Who is the Eternal Truth, a steadfastness that taketh no account of them whatever. The second is strict observance of the laws He hath prescribed — laws which He hath always ordained, and will continue to ordain, unto men, and through which the truth may be distinguished and separated from falsehood.
