78 BARĀHIN-E-AHMADIYYA PART FOUR beyond hidden-presents an unlimited ocean transcending observa- tion and imagination. This world does not have even a thousandth part of such intricacies. Therefore, under these circumstances, unless we clearly and deliberately choose to deviate from the right path, we would undoubtedly be forced to admit that in order to precisely under- stand the circumstances and facts of that world and to attain perfect belief in them, the need for historians, reporters, and experienced peo- ple is hundreds of times greater in comparison to this world. Now, when the historian and reporter of that world can be none other than the Word of God, and the ship of our certainty may well- nigh be destroyed in the absence of a reporter, and the tempestuous winds of doubt continue to hurl the ark of faith into the whirlpool of destruction; given these circumstances, what wise person would rely entirely upon the guidance of defective reason and turn away from the need of such a word upon which the security of his life depends, and the contents of which are not limited to conjectural speculations alone? Rather, in addition to providing rational arguments, it informs us of the true facts of the second world as a true historian and gives an eyewitness account. چشمے کہ ندید آن صحتِ پاک چه دیده از وحی خدا صبح صداقت بدمیده With divine revelation, the dawn of truth breaks; The eye that has not seen those holy scriptures has seen nothing. کاخ دل ما باشد زہماں نافه معطر و آل یار بیامد که ز ما بود رمیده The castle of my heart is filled with the fragrance of that musk; The Beloved who had left me has returned. حقا کہ ہمہ عمر ز کوری نہ رہیدہ آن دیده که نورے نگرفت ست زفرقاں The eye which does not partake of the light from the Furqan, By God, its blindness will never be cured.
