Say, this is the Day when the Speaker on Sinai hath mounted
the throne of Revelation and the people have stood before the Lord of the
worlds. This is the Day wherein the earth hath told out her tidings and hath
laid bare her treasures; when the oceans have brought forth their pearls and
the divine Lote-Tree its fruit; when the Sun hath shed its radiance and the
Moons have diffused their lights, and the Heavens have revealed their stars,
and the Hour its signs, and the Resurrection its dreadful majesty; when the
pens have unloosed their outpourings and the spirits have laid bare their
mysteries. Blessed is the man who recognizeth Him and attaineth His presence,
and woe betide such as deny Him and turn aside from Him.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
