Editing Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder173

Blessed are you, O assembly of the Learned Men in al-Baha'. [note 1] By God, you are waves of the most great Sea and the stars of the Heaven of Grace and the banners of assistance among the heavens and the earths. You are the Rising-places of uprightness among mankind and the Sunrise- places of Explanation to him who is in the (realm of the) possible. Blessed is the one who comes to you, and woe to the ones who turn away from you. [note 2] To-day it is fitting that one who drinks the strong Wine of Life (rahiq al-hayawan) from the hand of the kindness of his Lord, the Merciful One, should be throbbing continually like the veins in the body of Possibility, that by Him the world and every decayed bone might move.
