Editing Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder41

A certain man has been puffed up by learning and has been deprived thereby of My Self-Subsistent Name, and whenever he hears the sound of footsteps behind him, he thinks himself bigger than Nimrod. [note 2]

Say: Where is he (Nimrod), O rejected one (al-mardud)? By God, he is certainly in the lowest hell-fire! Say: O assembly of the learned, [note 1] do you not hear the scratching of My Most High Pen? Do you not see the Sun rising from the most splendid (al-abha - from the same root as Baha') Horizon? How long will you pray in seclusion to the idols of your passions? Leave the illusions and face towards God, your Eternal Master.
