Gaze toward justice and equity under all circumstances. This exalted Utterance has been revealed, from the Pen of ABHA, in the "Hidden Words": (169:1) "O Son of Spirit! (169:2) "The best of all to Me is Justice. Desire thou not to cast it away if thou desirest Me, and neglect it not, that thou mayest be faithful to Me, for by it thou wilt attain to see the things with thine own eyes and not by the eyes of the creatures, and know them by thine own knowledge and not by the knowledge of any in the world. Meditate on this -- how thou oughtest to be. Justice is one of My gifts to thee and one of My cares over thee, therefore put it before thine eyes continually." (169:3) The possessors of justice and equity occupy the highest station and loftiest rank: the lights of righteousness and piety radiate and shine from such souls. It is hoped that nations and countries may not be deprived of the lights of these two orbs. (169:4) THE FOURTH TARAZ (169:5) is on trustworthiness. Verily, this is the door of tranquillity to all in the world, and the sign of glory from the presence of the merciful One. Whosoever attains thereto has attained to treasuries of wealth and affluence. Trustworthiness is the greatest door to the security and tranquillity of mankind. The stability of every affair always depends on it, and the worlds of honor, glory and affluence are illuminated by its light. (169:6) Sometime since, this sweet Utterance was revealed from the Supreme Pen: (169:7) "Verily, We mention unto thee Trustworthiness and the place it occupies before God, thy Lord and the Lord of the Great Throne. One day We repaired unto our Green Island. When We entered therein, We found its streams flowing, its trees in full foliage, and the sun playing through the interstices. (169:8) "Turning our Face to the right, We beheld that which the pen fails to describe, nor can it set forth that which was witnessed by the eye of the Lord of mankind in that place, which is the most pure, the most honored, the most blessed, the most lofty.
(169:9)
