God, the Pen of the Most High hath lifted distinctions from between
His servants and handmaidens, and, through His consummate favours
and all-encompassing mercy, hath conferred upon all a station and rank
of the same plane. He hath broken the back of vain imaginings with the
sword of utterance and hath obliterated the perils of idle fancies
through the pervasive power of His might.
(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian) [2]

This Wronged One hath heard thy voice and that which thy inner and
outer tongue hath uttered in praise of thy Lord. By the righteousness of
God! That which the people possess, and the treasures of the earth, and
that which the rulers and kings own, are not equal in this day to the
singing of His praise. The Lord of the Kingdom beareth witness unto
this at this glorious moment. And having heard thy groaning and
lamentation, We are responding with a Tablet which calleth out betwixt
earth and heaven and maketh mention of thee with words that
immortalize what hath appeared from thee in His love, in His service,
in His remembrance and in His praise. And He hath made that which
hath issued forth from thy mouth a trust with Him for thee. He is verily

the Most Bounteous, the Most Generous. If thou truly givest ear to that
which hath been revealed for thee from My Supreme Pen at this
moment, thou shalt soar with the wings of eagerness in the heaven of
love for the Lord of the Day of the Covenant, and wilt say during all
the days of thy life: Thanks be unto Thee, O Thou the Desire of the
world, and praise be unto Thee, O Thou the Beloved of the people of
understanding. May all existence be a sacrifice for Thy favour, and all
that hath been and will ever be, a ransom for Thy Word, O Thou the
Wronged One amongst the people of enmity, O Thou in Whose grasp
are the reins of all who are in heaven and on earth....
In this Day the Hand of divine grace hath removed all distinctions. The
servants of God and His handmaidens are regarded on the same plane.
Blessed is the servant who hath attained unto that which God hath
decreed, and likewise the leaf moving in accordance with the breezes of
His will. This favour is great and this station lofty. His bounties and
bestowals are ever present and manifest. Who is able to offer befitting
gratitude for His successive bestowals and continuous favours?
(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian and Arabic) [3]

By My Life! The names of handmaidens who are devoted to God are
written and set down by the Pen of the Most High in the Crimson Book.
They excel over men in the sight of God. How numerous are the heroes
and knights in the field who are bereft of the True One and have no
share in His recognition, but thou hast attained and received thy fill.
(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian) [4]

Verily the Pen of the Most High hath borne witness unto thy
recognition of Him, thy love for Him and thy turning towards the
Ancient Countenance at a time when the world hath rejected Him, save
those whom God, the Most High, hath willed....
Well is it with thee for having adorned thyself with the ornament of the
love of God and for having been enabled to make mention of Him and
utter His praise. Divine grace, in its entirety, is in the mighty grasp of
God, exalted be He. He conferreth it upon whomsoever He willeth.
How many a man considered himself a celebrated divine and a
repository of heavenly mysteries, and yet when the slightest test visited
him, he arose with such opposition and denial as to cause the
Concourse on high to moan and lament. Through the bestowals of the
Lord, however, and His infinite favour, thou hast attained unto the
hidden secret and the well-guarded treasure. Preserve then, in the name
of God, this lofty station and conceal it from the eyes of betrayers. The
glory shining from the horizon of My Kingdom be upon thee and upon
every handmaiden who hath attained the splendours of My sublime
Throne.
(From a Tablet - translated from the Persian and Arabic) [5]
