O thou seeker of the True One!

In the day of Christ all nations were expecting that
His Holiness Christ should come from heaven, and He
came from heaven, though outwardly He came from
the womb of Mary. Hence, He hath said in the Gospels:
"No one shall ascend to heaven except the one
who hath come from heaven." Now all the people expect
Him to come from heaven.

If thou wishest to find the truth, compare the days
of the Manifestation of the Beauty of Abha with the
days of Christ; consider this is identically like that and
the same doubts and oppositions are put forth (by the
people).

as to the proofs and arguments of the Beauty of
Abha, these are manifest like the sun. If thou wishest
a discerning eye and seekest for a hearing ear, set
thou aside that which thou hast heard from fathers and
ancestors, for such things are imitation--and then seek
for the truth with the utmost attention until the divine
confirmation may reach thee and the matter may be
properly disclosed unto thee.
