Source (Persian)

و اگر گويند تجلّی ثانی است که معبّر به فيض مقدّس شده اين مسلّماً در عالم خلق است، يعنی در عالم ظهور اوّليّه و بروز بدعيّه. و اين مقام مختصّ به انبياء و اوليای اوست چه که اعظم و اکبر از ايشان در عوالم وجود موجود نگشته. چنانچه جميع بر اين مطلب مقرّ و مذعن اند. و ايشانند محالّ و مظاهر جميع صفات ازليّه و اسماء الهيّه. و ايشانند مرايائی که تمام حکايت می نمايند و جميع آنچه به ايشان راجع است فی الحقيقه به حضرت ظاهر مستور راجع. و معرفت مبدأ و وصول به او حاصل نمی شود مگر به معرفت و وصول اين کينونات مشرقه از شمس حقيقت. پس، از لقاء اين انوار مقدّسه لقاء اللّه حاصل می شود و از علمشان علم اللّه و از وجهشان وجه اللّه و از اوّليّت و آخريّت و ظاهريّت و باطنيّت اين جواهر مجرّده ثابت می شود از برای آن شمس حقيقت باَنّه هُوَ الاَوَّلُ و " لهذا هر نفسی که به اين انوار مضيئه ممتنعه و شموس مشرقه لائحه در هر ظهور موفّق و فائز شد او به لقاءاللّه فائز است و در مدينه حيات ابديّه باقيه وارد. و اين لقاء ميسّر نشود برای احدی الّا در قيامت که قيام نفس اللّه است به مظهر کلّيّه خود.الآخِرُ وَالظّاهرُ و البَاطِنُ." و همچنين سائر اسماء عاليه و صفات متعاليه.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

And were they to say that by “divine Presence” is meant the “Secondary Revelation of God,” interpreted as the “Holy Outpouring,” this is admittedly applicable to the world of creation, that is, in the realm of the primal and original manifestation of God. Such revelation is confined to His Prophets and chosen Ones, inasmuch as none mightier than they hath come to exist in the world of being. This truth all recognize, and bear witness thereto. These Prophets and chosen Ones of God are the recipients and revealers of all the unchangeable attributes and names of God. They are the mirrors that truly and faithfully reflect the light of God. Whatsoever is applicable to them is in reality applicable to God, Himself, Who is both the Visible and the Invisible. The knowledge of Him, Who is the Origin of all things, and attainment unto Him, are impossible save through knowledge of, and attainment unto, these luminous Beings who proceed from the Sun of Truth. By attaining, therefore, to the presence of these holy Luminaries, the “Presence of God” Himself is attained. From their knowledge, the knowledge of God is revealed, and from the light of their countenance, the splendour of the Face of God is made manifest. Through the manifold attributes of these Essences of Detachment, Who are both the first and the last, the seen and the hidden, it is made evident that He Who is the Sun of Truth is “the First and the Last, the Seen, and the Hidden.” Likewise the other lofty names and exalted attributes of God. Therefore, whosoever, and in whatever Dispensation, hath recognized and attained unto the presence of these glorious, these resplendent and most excellent Luminaries, hath verily attained unto the “Presence of God” Himself, and entered the city of eternal and immortal life. Attainment unto such presence is possible only in the Day of Resurrection, which is the Day of the rise of God Himself through His all-embracing Revelation.
