Comprehend, in like manner, every station, sign, and allusion, that
thou mayest perceive all things in their own place and consider all
matters in their proper light. For in this station, the City of Divine
Unity, are to be found those who have entered within the ark of divine
guidance and journeyed through the heights of divine unity. Thou shalt
behold the lights of beauty upon their faces and the mysteries of glory in
their human temples. Thou shalt perceive the musk-laden fragrance of their
words and behold the signs of His sovereignty in all their ways and
doings. Nor wilt thou be veiled by the deeds of them that have failed to
quaff from the crystal springs or to attain unto the cities of holiness,
and who follow their selfish desires and spread disorder in the land, all
the while believing themselves to be guided aright. It is indeed of them
that it hath been said: "These are the abject and foolish, who follow
every clamorous impostor and who bend with every changing wind."(58) The
stages of this journey, station, and abode are clear and manifest to thee
and require no further explanation.
