Source (Persian)
و ديگر زحمت و مرارت آن طلعات را ملاحظه نما که بی ناصر و معين ظاهری در مقابل جميع اهل ارض اقامه حدود اللّه می فرمايند. با آن همه ايذاء که بر آن وجود های مبارکه لطيفهرقيقه وارد می شود و با کمال قدرت صبر می فرمايند و با نهايت غلبه تحمّل می نمايند.
Shoghi Effendi Translation
Moreover, consider the hardships and the bitterness of the lives of those Revealers of the divine Beauty. Reflect, how single-handed and alone they faced the world and all its peoples, and promulgated the Law of God! No matter how severe the persecutions inflicted upon those holy, those precious, and tender Souls, they still remained, in the plenitude of their power, patient, and, despite their ascendancy, they suffered and endured.
