"O thou who art firm in the Covenant!..."

O thou who art firm in the Covenant!

Thou hast asked regarding the phrase, "He is God!" written above the Tablets. By this Word it is intended that no one hath any access to the Invisible Essence. The way is barred and the road is impassable. In this world all men must turn their faces toward "Him-whom God-shall-Manifest." He is the "Dawning-place of Divinity" and the "Manifestation of Deity." He is the "Ultimate Goal," the "Adored One" of all and the "Worshipped One" of all. Otherwise, whatever flashes through the mind is not that Essence of essences and the Reality of realities; nay, rather it is pure imagination [1] woven by man and is surrounded, not the surrounding. Consequently, it returns finally to the realm of suppositions and conjectures.
