By virtue of this station, they have claimed for themselves the Voice of Divinity and the like, whilst by virtue of their station of Messengership, they have declared themselves the Messengers of God.

In every instance they have voiced an utterance that would conform to the requirements of the occasion, and have ascribed all these declarations to themselves, declarations ranging from the realm of divine Revelation to the realm of creation, and from the domain of Divinity even unto the domain of earthly existence. Thus it is that whatsoever be their utterance, whether it pertain to the realm of Divinity, Lordship, Prophethood, Messengership, Guardianship, Apostleship or Servitude, all is true, beyond the shadow of a doubt. Therefore, these sayings which we have quoted in support of our argument must be attentively considered, that the divergent utterances of the Manifestations of the Unseen and Daysprings of Holiness may cease to agitate the soul and perplex the mind.

“باری، نظر به اين مقام، ذکر ربوبيّه و امثال ذلک از ايشان ظاهر شده و در مقام رسالت اظهار رسالت فرمودند و همچنين در هر مقام به اقتضای آن ذکری فرمودند و همه را نسبت به خود داده‏اند از عالم امر الی عالم خلق و از عوالم ربوبيّه الی عوالم ملکيّه. اين است که آنچه بفرمايند و هرچه ذکر نمايند از الوهيّت و ربوبيّت و نبوّت و رسالت و ولايت و امامت و عبوديّت، همه حقّ است و شبهه ای در آن نيست. پس بايد تفکّر در اين بيانات که استدلال شده نمود تا ديگر از اختلافات اقوال مظاهر غيبيّه و مطالع قدسيّه احدی را اضطراب و تزلزل دست ندهد.”
