Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 112 of 291.
Source (Persian)
چنانچه مشاهده شد در اين ظهور بديع منيع که کرورها آيات الهيّه از سماء قدرت و رحمت نازل شد با وجود اين جميع خلق اعراض نموده و تمسّک جستهاند به اقوال عبادی که يک حرف از آن را ادراک نمی نمايند. از اين جهت است که در امثال اين مسائل واضحه شبهه نموده و خود را از رضوان علم احديّه و رياض حکمت صمديّه محروم نمودهاند.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
To this testifieth that which hath been witnessed in this wondrous and exalted Dispensation. Myriads of holy verses have descended from the heaven of might and grace, yet no one hath turned thereunto, nor ceased to cling to those words of men, not one letter of which they that have spoken them comprehend. For this reason the people have doubted incontestable truths, such as these, and caused themselves to be deprived of the Ridván of divine knowledge, and the eternal meads of celestial wisdom.
