The Descent of the Messiah — Page 126
THE DESCENT OF THE MESSIAH آن خدایی که وعده ی حکمی داد از راه رحم و لطف همی The God who, out of His grace and mercy, promised the Arbiter; او بدانست از ازل که انام راه خود گم کنند از اوهام He knew from eternity that people get entangled in doubts and suspicions and forget their way. ورنه کار حکم چه خواهد بود رهنمایی بمرد راه چه سود Otherwise, what would be the purpose of the Arbiter, and what is the use of guiding someone who is already on the right path? راه گم کرده را حکم باید تا بدو راه راست بنماید An Arbiter is required for the lost in order to show them the right path. این مگو ما خودیم عالم دین توبه کن از مکالمات چنین Do not say that you are yourselves scholars of religion; repent of such claims. کور را کور کی نماید راه هر که آگاه از خدا آگاه How can a blind person lead the blind? Anyone who knows the way has been informed by God. دین نیاید به غیر دینداری سگ نداند به غیر مرداری Only the faithful know about faith; for the dog of the world knows of nothing but carrion. 126
