1	سپاس و ستایش خداوندیرا سزاوار که آفرینش را بتوانائی خود از برهنگی نابودی رهائی داد و بپوشش زندگی سرافرازی بخشید پس گوهر پاک مردمرا از میان آفریدگان برگزید و او را بپوشش بزرگی آرایش فرمود هر که زنگ خواهش از آئینهٴ دل زدود سزاوار این پوشش یزدانی شد و خود را از برهنگی نادانی رهائی داد این پوشش تن و جان مردمانرا بزرگترین مایهٴ آسایش و پرورش است خوشا روز آنکه بیاری خداوند یکتا از آلایش گیتی و آنچه در او است رهائی یافت و در سایهٴ درخت دانائی بیاسود (edit)	– XXXIV – All praise and glory be to God Who, through the power of His might, hath delivered His creation from the nakedness of nonexistence, and clothed it with the mantle of life. From among all created things He hath singled out for His special favor the pure, the gem-like reality of man, and invested it with a unique capacity of knowing Him and of reflecting the greatness of His glory. This twofold distinction conferred upon him hath cleansed away from his heart the rust of every vain desire, and made him worthy of the vesture with which his Creator hath deigned to clothe him. It hath served to rescue his soul from the wretchedness of ignorance. This robe with which the body and soul of man hath been adorned is the very foundation of his well-being and development. Oh, how blessed the day when, aided by the grace and might of the one true God, man will have freed himself from the bondage and corruption of the world and all that is therein, and will have attained unto true and abiding rest beneath the shadow of the Tree of Knowledge! (edit)	Praise and glorification are due to the Lord who, by His power, delivered creation from the nakedness of annihilation and, with the garment of life, granted it exaltation. Then He chose the pure essence of humankind from among created beings and adorned it with the garment of greatness. Whoever wiped away the rust of desire from the mirror of the heart became worthy of this divine raiment and freed himself from the nakedness of ignorance. This covering of body and soul is the greatest means of comfort and nurture for humankind. Blessed is the day when, with the help of the One God, a person is delivered from the impurities of the world and all that is in it, and rests in the shade of the tree of knowledge. (edit)
2	آوای هزاردستان که بر شاخسار دوستی سرایان است بگوش دوستان رسید پس فرمان شد که این بنده بپاسخ برخی از پرسشها لب گشاید و آنچه از رازها که نگارش آن شاید آشکار نماید در آن نامهٴ دلپسند نگارش رفته بود که کدام از کیش‌آوران بر دیگری برتری دارد در اینجا خداوند یگانه میفرماید میان پیمبران جدائی ننهیم چون خواست همه یکی است و راز همگی یکسان جدائی و برتری میان ایشان روا نه پیمبر راستگو خود را بنام پیمبر پیشین خوانده پس چون کسی بنهان این گفتار پی‌نبرد بگفته‌های ناشایسته پردازد دانای بینا را از گفتهٴ او لغزش پدیدار نشود (edit)	The songs which the bird of thine heart had uttered in its great love for its friends have reached their ears, and moved Me to answer thy questions, and reveal to thee such secrets as I am allowed to unfold. In thine esteemed letter thou hadst inquired which of the Prophets of God should be regarded as superior to others. Know thou assuredly that the essence of all the Prophets of God is one and the same. Their unity is absolute. God, the Creator, saith: There is no distinction whatsoever among the Bearers of My Message. They all have but one purpose; their secret is the same secret. To prefer one in honor to another, to exalt certain ones above the rest, is in no wise to be permitted. Every true Prophet hath regarded His Message as fundamentally the same as the Revelation of every other Prophet gone before Him. If any man, therefore, should fail to comprehend this truth, and should consequently indulge in vain and unseemly language, no one whose sight is keen and whose understanding is enlightened would ever allow such idle talk to cause him to waver in his belief. (edit)	The song of the nightingale, singing upon the branch of friendship, reached the ears of friends; thus it was commanded that this servant should open his lips in reply to some of the questions and make manifest whatever secrets may be set down in writing. In that pleasing letter it had been written: which of the founders of religions has superiority over another? Here the One God says: “We make no distinction among the prophets,” since the will of all is one and the secret of all is the same; division and superiority among them are not permitted. The truthful prophet called himself by the name of a former prophet; therefore, when someone does not grasp this saying inwardly and turns to unseemly words, no error will appear to the knowing and discerning from his speech. (edit)
3	اگرچه پیدایش ایشان در جهان یکسان نه و هر یک برفتار و کردار جداگانه پدیدار و در میان خوردی و بزرگی نمودار ولی ایشان مانند ماه تابان است چنانچه او هر گاهی بنمایش جداگانه پدیدار با آنکه هیچ گاهی او را کاهش و نیستی نه پس دانسته شد که این نه بیشی و کمی است ولی جهان ناپایدار شایستهٴ اینگونه رفتار است چه هرگاه که خداوند بیمانند پیمبری را بسوی مردمان فرستاد بگفتار و رفتاری که سزاوار آنروز بود نمودار شد خواست یزدان از پدیداری فرستادگان دو چیز بود نخستین رهانیدن مردمان از تیرگی نادانی و رهنمائی بروشنائی دانائی دویم (edit)	The measure of the revelation of the Prophets of God in this world, however, must differ. Each and every one of them hath been the Bearer of a distinct Message, and hath been commissioned to reveal Himself through specific acts. It is for this reason that they appear to vary in their greatness. Their Revelation may be likened unto the light of the moon that sheddeth its radiance upon the earth. Though every time it appeareth, it revealeth a fresh measure of its brightness, yet its inherent splendor can never diminish, nor can its light suffer extinction. It is clear and evident, therefore, that any apparent variation in the intensity of their light is not inherent in the light itself, but should rather be attributed to the varying receptivity of an ever-changing world. Every Prophet Whom the Almighty and Peerless Creator hath purposed to send to the peoples of the earth hath been entrusted with a Message, and charged to act in a manner that would best meet the requirements of the age in which He appeared. God’s purpose in sending His Prophets unto men is twofold. The first is to liberate the children of men from the darkness of ignorance, and guide them to the light of true understanding. The second is to ensure the peace and tranquillity of mankind, and provide all the means by which they can be established. (edit)	Although their appearance in the world was not the same, and each one became manifest with a distinct conduct and character, and was seen among the small and the great, yet they are like the shining moon: it appears at times in different phases, though it is never diminished or brought to nothing. Thus it was understood that this is not a matter of increase or decrease; rather, the unstable world is suited to such behavior. For whenever God sent an incomparable prophet to the people, he appeared with words and deeds appropriate to that time. The will of God in the appearance of the messengers was two things: first, to deliver people from the darkness of ignorance and guide them to the light of knowledge; second, (edit)
4	آسایش ایشان و شناختن و دانستن راههای آن پیمبران چون پزشگانند که بپرورش گیتی و کسان آن پرداخته‌اند تا بدرمان یگانگی بیماری بیگانگیرا چاره نمایند در کردار و رفتار پزشگ جای گفتار نه زیرا که او بر چگونگی کالبد و بیماریهای آن آگاه است و هرگز مرغ بینش مردمان زمین بفراز آسمان دانش او نرسد پس اگر رفتار امروز پزشگ را با گذشته یکسان نه‌بینند جای گفتار نه چه که هر روز بیمار را روش جداگانه سزاوار و همچنین پیمبران یزدان هرگاه که جهانرا بخورشید تابان دانش درخشان نمودند بهر چه سزاوار آن روز بود مردم را بسوی خداوند یکتا (edit)	The Prophets of God should be regarded as physicians whose task is to foster the well-being of the world and its peoples, that, through the spirit of oneness, they may heal the sickness of a divided humanity. To none is given the right to question their words or disparage their conduct, for they are the only ones who can claim to have understood the patient and to have correctly diagnosed its ailments. No man, however acute his perception, can ever hope to reach the heights which the wisdom and understanding of the Divine Physician have attained. Little wonder, then, if the treatment prescribed by the physician in this day should not be found to be identical with that which he prescribed before. How could it be otherwise when the ills affecting the sufferer necessitate at every stage of his sickness a special remedy? In like manner, every time the Prophets of God have illumined the world with the resplendent radiance of the Daystar of Divine knowledge, they have invariably summoned its peoples to embrace the light of God through such means as best befitted the exigencies of the age in which they appeared. (edit)	Their comfort and the recognizing and knowing of the ways of it: the prophets are like physicians who have devoted themselves to nurturing the world and its people, so that they may find a remedy, through the cure of unity, for the illness of estrangement. In the deeds and conduct of a physician there is no place for talk, for he is aware of the condition of the body and its illnesses, and never will the bird of the insight of the people of the earth reach the height of his sky of knowledge. Therefore, if they do not see the physician’s conduct today as the same as in the past, there is no place for talk, for each day the patient deserves a different method; likewise the prophets of God, whenever they made the world shine with the radiant sun of brilliant knowledge, guided the people—according to what was fitting for that day—toward the One God. (edit)
5	خواندند و آنها را از تیرگی نادانی بروشنائی دانائی راه نمودند پس باید دیدهٴ مردم دانا بر راز درون ایشان نگران باشد چه که همگی را خواست یکی بوده و آن راهنمائی گم‌گشتگان و آسودگی درماندگان است... مردمانرا بیماری فراگرفته بکوشید تا آنها را بآن درمان که ساختهٴ دست توانای پزشگ یزدان است رهائی دهید باز در چگونگی کیشها نگارش رفته بود خردمندان گیتی را چون کالبد مردمان دانسته‌اند چنانکه او را پوشش باید کالبد گیتی را هم پوشش داد و دانش شاید پس کیش یزدان جامهٴ اوست هرگاه کهنه شود بجامهٴ تازه او را بیاراید هر گاهی را روش (edit)	They were thus able to scatter the darkness of ignorance, and to shed upon the world the glory of their own knowledge. It is towards the inmost essence of these Prophets, therefore, that the eye of every man of discernment must be directed, inasmuch as their one and only purpose hath always been to guide the erring, and give peace to the afflicted.… These are not days of prosperity and triumph. The whole of mankind is in the grip of manifold ills. Strive, therefore, to save its life through the wholesome medicine which the almighty hand of the unerring Physician hath prepared. (edit)	They read and guided them from the darkness of ignorance to the light of knowledge. Therefore the eye of the wise should be attentive to the secret within them, for the desire of all has been one: the guiding of those who are lost and the comfort of the helpless... A disease has afflicted the people; strive to deliver them with that remedy which is fashioned by the mighty hand of the divine Physician. Again, regarding the nature of religions, it has been written: the sages of the world have regarded the world as the body of humankind; just as a person needs clothing, so too must the body of the world be clothed, and it may be renewed. Thus the religion of God is its garment; whenever it becomes worn, He adorns it with a new garment. To each age its own way. (edit)
6	جداگانه سزاوار همیشه کیش یزدانی بآنچه شایستهٴ آنروز است هویدا و آشکار دیگر در گفته‌های آیین‌داران گذشته نگاشته بودند دانش ستوده از این گفتارهای بیهوده دوری جوید آفرینندهٴ یکتا مردم را یکسان آفریده و او را بر همهٴ آفریدگان بزرگی داده پس بلندی و پستی و بیشی و کمی بسته بکوشش اوست هر که بیشتر کوشد بیشتر رود امیدواریم که از زمین دل بیاری باری ژالهٴ بخشش لالهٴ دانش بروید و مردمرا از تیرگی آلایش بشوید (edit)	And now concerning thy question regarding the nature of religion. Know thou that they who are truly wise have likened the world unto the human temple. As the body of man needeth a garment to clothe it, so the body of mankind must needs be adorned with the mantle of justice and wisdom. Its robe is the Revelation vouchsafed unto it by God. Whenever this robe hath fulfilled its purpose, the Almighty will assuredly renew it. For every age requireth a fresh measure of the light of God. Every Divine Revelation hath been sent down in a manner that befitted the circumstances of the age in which it hath appeared. As to thy question regarding the sayings of the leaders of past religions. Every wise and praiseworthy man will no doubt eschew such vain and profitless talk. The incomparable Creator hath created all men from one same substance, and hath exalted their reality above the rest of His creatures. Success or failure, gain or loss, must, therefore, depend upon man’s own exertions. The more he striveth, the greater will be his progress. We fain would hope that the vernal showers of the bounty of God may cause the flowers of true understanding to spring from the soil of men’s hearts, and may wash them from all earthly defilements. (edit)	Separately, always worthy—devoted to the divine faith—let what is fitting for that day be manifest and clear. Elsewhere, in the sayings of the practitioners of the former religion, it had been written. Let praised knowledge keep away from these vain words. The One Creator created people equally and granted him superiority over all creatures; therefore loftiness and lowliness, more and less, depend on his effort. Whoever strives more advances more. We hope that, from the soil of the heart with help and aid, the dew of generosity and the tulip of knowledge will grow, and will wash people from the darkness of pollution. (edit)
