The Untranscribed Verses

4.      The Untranscribed Verses

Adverting to the next phase of Baha’s “proclamation” in Edirne Shoghi Effendi quotes Baha, P.171 ibid, as saying: “So great is the grace vouchsafed in this day that in a single day and night, were an amanuensis capable of a accomplishing it to be found, the equivalent of the Persian Bayan would be sent down from the heaven of Divine holiness.” I swear by god!, he in another connection has affirmed, “in those days the equivalent of all that hath been sent down aforetime unto the prophets had been revealed.” That which hath already been revealed in this land (Edirne), he, furthermore referring to the copiousness of his writings, has declared,” secretaries are incapable of transcribing. It has, therefore remained for the most part untranscribed.”
“Almost immediately after the most great separation’ [i.e. the open and final rupture between Baha and Mirza Yahya], p.141 Baha revealed in Edirne the Sura-al-Muluk سورة الملوک [the verse of kings] in which he, for the first time, directs his words collectively to the entire company of the Monarch of East and West.”
This most momentous verse” is tarried in the writings in which it appears and is kept under the carpet, like the original text of the Kitab-i-Aqdas, unbeknown to their addresses.
