Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 19 of 291.
Source (Persian)
بر اولی العلم معلوم و واضح بوده که چون نار محبّت عيسوی حجبات حدود يهود را سوخت و حکم آن حضرت فی الجمله جريان بر حسب ظاهر يافت، روزی آن جمال غيبی به بعضی از اصحاب روحانی ذکر فراق فرمودند و نار اشتياق افروختند و فرمودند که " من می روم و بعد می آيم"، و در مقام ديگر فرمودند: "من می روم و می آيد ديگری تا بگويد آنچه من نگفته ام و تمام نمايد آنچه را که گفته ام." و اين دو عبارت فی الحقيقه يکی است لَو اَنتُم فِی مَظاهر التَّوحيد بِعَينِ اللّه تَشهَدُون.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
To them that are endowed with understanding, it is clear and manifest that when the fire of the love of Jesus consumed the veils of Jewish limitations, and His authority was made apparent and partially enforced, He the Revealer of the unseen Beauty, addressing one day His disciples, referred unto His passing, and, kindling in their hearts the fire of bereavement, said unto them: “I go away and come again unto you.” And in another place He said: “I go and another will come Who will tell you all that I have not told you, and will fulfil all that I have said.” Both these sayings have but one meaning, were you to ponder upon the Manifestations of the Unity of God with divine insight.
