Unnamed Tablet on 'Abdu'l-Bahá 5

Extract from Tablet

"I am, however, contented with what is inflicted upon me in thy path. Would that thy servants could be satisfied therewith, and that it would have sufficed them to do all these things unto myself. No! by thy Might! this shall never satisfy them. Nay, they will attack the countenance which thou hast raised (to be) in thy place, and whom thou hast established to be on the throne of thy sovereignty; whom thou hast concealed under the tents of thy glory, and under the canopy of thy sublimity, whom thou hast branched from the ocean of thy singleness and enkindled with the fire of thine eternity, whom thou hast elevated to the station which is never comprehended by anyone, and is never known by any soul, whom thou hast appointed a fortress unto thy servants, and a light unto the countries, whom thou hast ordained the people to have recourse unto as they have recourse unto thee, and to be submissive under his hands as their submission unto thee. Notwithstanding all this, they contradicted him.

"(Words of Baha'o'llah: Extract from Tablet.)"
