Christ saith: 'Thou hast granted to children that whereof the learned and the wise are deprived.' The sage of Sabzivar* hath said: 'Alas! Attentive ears are lacking, otherwise the whisperings of the Sinaic Bush could be heard from every tree.' In a Tablet to a man of wisdom who had made enquiry as to the meaning of Elementary Reality, We addressed this famous sage in these words: 'If this saying is truly thine, how is it that thou hast failed to hearken unto the Call which the Tree of Man hath raised from the loftiest heights of the world? If thou didst hear the Call yet fear and the desire to preserve thy life prompted thee to remain heedless to it, thou art such a person as hath never been nor is worthy of mention; if thou hast not heard it, then thou art bereft of the sense of hearing.'
* Haji Mulla Hadi Sabzivari, a renowned philosopher and poet of Iran contemporary with Bahá'u'lláh. He passed away in 1873.
