Editing Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder184

Say: O Rising-place of Deviation, quit concealing (the truth)! [note 1] Then speak the Truth in the midst of created beings. By God, My tears have flowed down My cheeks when I saw thee following thy passion and forsaking the One who created thee and fashioned thee. Remember the Grace of thy Master when We educated thee by night and day for the service of the Cause. [note 2] Fear God and be of the penitent to God! Suppose people were mistaken about thy affair; art thou mistaken about thyself?

Fear God and remember when thou wast standing before the Throne and wast writing what We dictated to thee of the verses of God, the Overseer, the Mighty, the Powerful. Take care that zeal doss not hinder thee from the Unity. Face towards Him, be not afraid because of thy (evil) works. He forgives whom He wills by Grace from Him. There is no god besides Him, the Generous Forgiver. It is only for the sake of God that we give thee this advice. If thou comest, it is for thyself; if thou turnest away, thy Lord is sufficient without thee and those who follow thee in evident delusion. God has taken the one who seduced thee; [note 3] therefore return to Him submissive, humble, and humiliated. He will pardon thy evil doings. Thy Lord is, indeed, the Relenting, the Powerful, the Merciful.
