Recall thou to mind My sorrows, My cares and anxieties, My
woes and trials, the state of My captivity, the tears that I have shed, the
bitterness of Mine anguish, and now My imprisonment in this far-off land. God…
beareth Me witness. Couldst thou be told what hath befallen the Ancient Beauty,
thou wouldst flee into the wilderness, and weep with a great weeping… Be thou
grateful to God, that We have refused to divulge unto thee the secrets of those
unsearchable decrees that have been sent down unto Us from the heaven of the
Will of thy Lord, the Most Powerful, the Almighty.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings
from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
