Source (Arabic)
(١٧) ﴿ ای همگنان ﴾
ابواب لامکان باز گشته و ديار جانان از دم عاشقان زينت يافته و جميع از اين شهر روحانی محروم ماندهاند الّا قليلی و از آن قليل هم با قلب طاهر و نفس مقدّس مشهود نگشت الّا اقلّ قليلی*
Shoghi Effendi Translation
(17) O COMRADES!
The gates that open on the Placeless stand wide and the habitation of the loved one is adorned with the lovers’ blood, yet all but a few remain bereft of this celestial city, and even of these few, none but the smallest handful hath been found with a pure heart and sanctified spirit.
