Kitab-i-Aqdas/Elder157

There has been manifested the Mystery of Overturning for the enigma of the Chief. Blessed is the one whom God aided to acknowledge the six who were raised up by this upright Alif [note 3]. They are, indeed, of the sincere. How many a pious man has turned away (from God) and how many a forsaker has come and said, "To Thee be the praise, O Desire of the Worlds!" The matter is in the hand of God; He gives to whom He wills what He wills and He keeps back from whom He wills what He desires. He knows the secrets of the hearts and that by which the eyes of those who wink are moved. How many a careless one who came with sincerity We set down on the throne of welcome! How many an intelligent person We returned to the Fire because of justice on Our part! We are the Rulers. It is the Place of the Manifestation of "God Does What He Wills", and He who sits on the Throne commands what He desires.
