Regarding the birth of this servant, which also happened on
that day, [23 May 1844] this a proof of the favors and bounties of God toward
this servant. However, this Blessed Day must be known as the Day of the
Declaration of His Highness the Supreme (the Báb) and the beginning of the
effulgence of the Sun of Reality. You must on this account be engaged in rejoicing,
happiness and gladness. This is the truth! Beware! Beware! that you avoid that
which is mentioned; otherwise, it will cause the utmost grief to the heart of
Abdul-Baha.
