The Conclusive Argument — Page 89
Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 89 taken from a blessed tree for those who eat. When people fail to understand their subtle, fine, and profoundly divine words, they regard them [the Auliy a ’ ] as transgressors, heretics, infidels, and among those succumbing to selfish desires. Alas for them and their opinions! Unless they desist from this and show con- trition and repentance, they will definitely perish. The liberated ones move from the [physical] form to the heart, but these peo- ple have moved from the heart to the [physical] form and turned their backs on their knowledge due to their extreme miserliness. So they have become like a shell without a kernel. They devoured carrion like foxes, declaring me a disbeliever and cursing me without knowl- edge so that they might conceal this matter from a seeker [after truth]. And they proclaimed [that I am a] kafir and liar. They adopted the manner of the per- ished ones who had gone before أُخذ ٍّ طری ٍّ من الل ّٰ تعالٰی كثمر ٍ غض ن من شجرۃ مباركۃ لالٓكلین. آ ال ا والقوم لما لم یفهموا كلمات لطیفۃ دقیقۃ حِكَمیّۃ إلٰهیّۃ، فعزَوا أهلها إلی الفُسّاق والزنادقۃ والكفّار وأهل وعلی علیهم فیاحسرۃ االٔهواء. راء ، إنهم قد هلكوا إن لم آ ال تلك ا یتوبوا ولم یرجعوا منتهین. واالٔحرار ینتقلون من القالب إلی القلب، وهم انتقلوا من القلب إلی القالب، ونبذوا كل ما علموا وراء ظهورهم للبخل الغالب، فأصبحوا كقِشر ٍ ال لُب َّ فیه وأكلوا الجیفۃ كالثعالب، وكفّرونی ولعنونی من غیر علم لیستروا االٔمر علی الطالب، وقالوا كافر كذّاب، واتبعوا دأب الذین خلوا من قبلهم من أهل التباب.
