Paradise

The Bab then said, with sweetest scent:

~

Chorus:

"Beseech almighty Providence that He may graciously enable you

To attain, in that capital, the seat of true sovereignty,

And to enter the mansion of the Beloved.

~

A secret lies hidden in that city.

When made manifest, it shall turn the earth into paradise." Paradise!

"My hope is that you may partake of its grace and recognize its splendour."

For sure, we know it's true. The Bab was referring to Baha'u'llah!

The Bab was referring to Baha'u'llah!

Reference:

"Beseech almighty Providence that He may graciously enable you to attain, in that capital, the seat of true sovereignty, and to enter the mansion of the Beloved. A secret lies hidden in that city. When made manifest, it shall turn the earth into paradise. My hope is that you may partake of its grace and recognize its splendour." - Attributed to the Bab in Shoghi Effendi's translation of The Dawn-Breakers by Nabil, p. 86)
