In one of the Tablets, the Pen of the Most High, referring
to this foundation, which provides the best and surest, the soundest and most
perfect means of collecting, safeguarding and classifying the scattered, but
growing body, of Sacred Writings and relics, states:
"It is the concern of the True One to reveal, and the
concern of men to spread what hath been revealed. He will, verily, promulgate
His Cause by the hands of His scattering and well-favoured angels. Spiritual
BOuls will assuredly emerge from behind the veil of divine protection who will gather
together the tokens and verses of God and put them into the most excellent order.
This is His sure and irrevocable decree."
