| It is indubitably clear that the
pivot of the oneness of mankind is nothing else but the power of the Covenant.
The lamp of the Covenant is the light of the
world, and the words traced by the Pen of the Most High a limitless ocean.
The power of the Covenant is as the heat of the
sun which quickeneth and promoteth the development of all created things on earth. The
light of the Covenant, in like manner, is the educator of the minds, the spirits, the
hearts and souls of men.
All created things have their degree or stage of
maturity.
Nothing has been created without a special
destiny, for every creature has an innate station of attainment.
According to the irrefutable texts, He has taken
from us a firm covenant that we may live and act in accord with the divine exhortations,
commands, and lordly teachings.
