Kitab-i-Badi/English746

And with what appeared from me, every insightful person is certain that the matter is not in my hand, but in your hand, and the reins of choice were not in my hand, but rather in your hand and your power. Nevertheless, my God, the people of your kingdom have gathered against me, and every now and then come down with what frightens you about the truths of your chosen ones and your trustees. Therefore, I ask You, O my God, in Your name, by which You have guided the lovers to the fullness of Your grace and kindness, and have attracted those longing for the pleasure of Your nearness and meeting with You, to open the eyes of Your creation so that they may witness in this manifestation the emergence of the glory of Your individuality and the rising of the lights of Your face and Your beauty. Then purify them, O my God, from suspicions and delusions, so that they may smell the scents of sanctification from the shirt of Your advent and command. Perhaps they do not want me to prevent themselves from the whiffs of the affairs of Your Mercy in the days of the emergence of Yourself and the beginning of Your affair, and they do not commit what You make themselves worthy of the manifestations of Your oppression and anger.
