If he does not utter that due to a condition mandated by wisdom—wherein lies a benefit for the nation and a gentleness toward the people of the Mission—then it is mandatory upon anyone among the people of truth who observes him to ask him concerning his station, his Establisher, his place, and his locus of enablement. For if he is the Ancient of Days, he will reply: "I am I," and he will describe his own Essence, his self, his might, and his grandeur.

Likewise, whether he is a Gate or a Veil, any person who summons you, whom you are urged to follow, [and who brings forth that which] confounds and bewilders you, then informs you of your own unseen secrets and foretells your hidden thoughts, he is the knower of your unseen matters, the dispeller of your distresses, and the master of your quest. Therefore, submit to him in whatever he summons you to, for he is the Truth, and his word is sincerity.

The respondent replied: "If he is articulate (natiqan), you have no need to question him, and within his own utterance he will suffice you and suffice the people of the Mission.
