Source (Persian)
بيان را در هر مطلب مکرّر نموديم که شايد هر نفسی از اعالی و ادانی از اين بيانات به قدر و اندازه خود قسمت و نصيب بردارد و اگر نفسی از ادراک بيانی عاجز باشد، از بيان ديگر مقصود خود را ادراک نمايد. لِيَعْلَمَ کُلُّ اُناسٍ مَشرَبَهُم.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
We have variously and repeatedly set forth the meaning of every theme, that perchance every soul, whether high or low, may obtain, according to his measure and capacity, his share and portion thereof. Should he be unable to comprehend a certain argument, he may, thus, by referring unto another, attain his purpose. “That all sorts of men may know where to quench their thirst.”
