#Introduction

Nothing whatsoever escapeth Him.
He knoweth the secrets both of the heavens and of the earth.
His knowledge embraceth all things.

… Whenever the True Counselor uttered a word in admonishment, lo, they all denounced Him as a mover of mischief and rejected His claim. How bewildering, how confusing is such behavior! No two men can be found who may be said to be outwardly and inwardly united. The evidences of discord and malice are apparent everywhere, though all were made for harmony and union.

… in this century, which is the century of light and the revelation of mysteries, God is proving to the satisfaction of humanity that all this is ignorance and error; nay, rather, it is well established that mankind and womankind as parts of composite humanity are coequal and that no difference in estimate is allowable, for all are human.

Ye are even as a spring. If it be changed, so will the streams that branch out from it be changed…. In like manner, if the heart of man be corrupted, his limbs will also be corrupted. … Thus have We set forth similitudes for your instruction, that perchance ye may not be debarred by the things ye possess from attaining unto that which hath been destined for you…

The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 48.

Beware lest ye shed the blood of any one. Unsheathe the sword of your tongue from the scabbard of utterance, for therewith ye can conquer the citadels of men’s hearts. We have abolished the law to wage holy war against each other.

O ye wise men of the City and philosophers of the world!
Beware lest human learning and wisdom cause you to wax proud before God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.

If we are not happy and joyous
at this season, for what other
season shall we wait and for
what other time shall we look?

That home which turneth into the nest and shelter of the birds of the garden of Divine Unity, and where the nightingale of praise and utterance singeth upon the branches, extolling the Desired One and proclaiming the Cause of the Beloved, is as the highest paradise and the heavenly garden of the realms above. Blessed is thy home …
