Source (Persian)
باری، معلوم بوده و خواهد بود که جميع اين اختلافات کلمات از اختلافات مقامات است. اين است که در مقام توحيد و علوّ تجريد، اطلاق ربوبيّت و الوهيّت و احديّت صرفه و هويّه بحته بر آن جواهر وجود شده و می شود زيرا که جميع بر عرش ظهوراللّه ساکن اند و بر کرسيّ بطون اللّه واقف. يعنی ظهوراللّه به ظهورشان ظاهر و جمال اللّه از جمالشان باهر. چنانچه نغمات ربوبيّه از اين هياکل احديّه ظاهر شد.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
It hath ever been evident that all these divergences of utterance are attributable to differences of station. Thus, viewed from the standpoint of their oneness and sublime detachment, the attributes of Godhead, Divinity, Supreme Singleness, and Inmost Essence, have been and are applicable to those Essences of being, inasmuch as they all abide on the throne of divine Revelation, and are established upon the seat of divine Concealment. Through their appearance the Revelation of God is made manifest, and by their countenance the Beauty of God is revealed. Thus it is that the accents of God Himself have been heard uttered by these Manifestations of the divine Being.
