Persian source with Shoghi Effendi’s authorized English translation. Paragraph 281 of 291.

Source (Persian)

صاحبان هوش که از صهبای حبّ نوشيدهاند و گامی به کام نفس برنداشتهاند دلائل و برهان و حجّت را که جميع مشعر بر اين امر بديع و ظهور منيع الهی است اظهر از شمس در فلک چهارم مشاهده نمايند. حال اعراض خلق را از جمال الهی و اقبالشان را به هوای نفسانی ملاحظه فرمائيد. با همه اين آيات متقنه و اشارات محکمه که در ثقل اکبر که وديعه ربّانيّه است در بين عباد و اين احاديث واضحه که اصرح از بيان و تبيان است، از همه غافل و معرض شدهاند و چند حديث که به ادراک خود مطابق نيافتهاند و معنی آن را ادراک ننمودهاند متمسّک به ظاهر آنها شده و از سلسال خمر ذی الجلال و زلال بی زوال جمال لايزال محروم و مأيوس ماندهاند.

Shoghi Effendi Translation

They that have hearts to understand, they that have quaffed the Wine of love, who have not for one moment gratified their selfish desires, will behold, resplendent as the sun in its noon-tide glory, those tokens, testimonies, and evidences that attest the truth of this wondrous Revelation, this transcendent and divine Faith. Reflect, how the people have rejected the Beauty of God, and have clung unto their covetous desires. Notwithstanding all these consummate verses, these unmistakable allusions, which have been revealed in the “Most weighty Revelation,” the Trust of God amongst men, and despite these evident traditions, each more manifest than the most explicit utterance, the people have ignored and repudiated their truth, and have held fast to the letter of certain traditions which, according to their understanding, they have found inconsistent with their expectations, and the meaning of which they have failed to grasp. They have thus shattered every hope, and deprived themselves of the pure wine of the All-Glorious, and the clear and incorruptible waters of the immortal Beauty.
