Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 177 of 291.

Source (Persian)

و با اينکه اين فقره هم معلوم و واضح است که در جميع احيان ظهور مظاهر قدسيّه، علمای عهد مردم را از سبيل حقّ منع می نمودند چنانچه در جميع کتب و صحف سماوی مذکور و مسطور است. و احدی از انبياء مبعوث نشد مگر آنکه محلّ بغض و انکار و ردّ و سبّ علماء گشت. قاتَلَهُم اللّهُ بِما فَعَلوا مِن قَبلُ وَمِن بَعدُ کانُوا يَفعَلُون. حال کدام سبحات جلال اعظم از اين هياکل ضلال است؟ واللّه کشف آن اعظم امور است و خرقش اکبر اعمال.وَفَّقَنَا اللَّهُ و إيّاکُم يا مَعْشَرَ الرّوحِ لَعَلَّکُم بِذلِکَ فی زَمَنِ المُستَغاثِ تُوَفّقُونَ و من لِقاءِاللّه فی ايّامِهِ لا تَحْتَجِبُون.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

It is clear and evident that whenever the Manifestations of Holiness were revealed, the divines of their day have hindered the people from attaining unto the way of truth. To this testify the records of all the scriptures and heavenly books. Not one Prophet of God was made manifest Who did not fall a victim to the relentless hate, to the denunciation, denial, and execration of the clerics of His day! Woe unto them for the iniquities their hands have formerly wrought! Woe unto them for that which they are now doing! What veils of glory more grievous than these embodiments of error! By the righteousness of God! to pierce such veils is the mightiest of all acts, and to rend them asunder the most meritorious of all deeds! May God assist us and assist you, O concourse of the Spirit! that perchance ye may in the time of His Manifestation be graciously aided to perform such deeds, and may in His days attain unto the Presence of God.
