Gleanings — §709
Arabic source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 709 of 729.
Source (Arabic)
باید آن جناب به ما اراد الله قیام نمایند و ما اراد الله ما نزّل فی الألواح است بقسمی که بهیچوجه از خود اراده و مشیّتی نداشته باشند اینست مقام توحید حقیقی
Shoghi Effendi Translation
It behooveth thee to consecrate thyself to the Will of God. Whatsoever hath been revealed in His Tablets is but a reflection of His Will. So complete must be thy consecration, that every trace of worldly desire will be washed from thine heart. This is the meaning of true unity.
