Bereft, however, of the essence of the mysteries of His
wisdom, which We have imparted unto thee beneath the veils of these blessed and
soul-stirring words, thou wouldst fail to attain unto even a sprinkling of the
oceans of divine knowledge or the crystal streams of divine power, and wouldst
be recorded in the Mother Book, through the Pen of oneness and by the Finger of
God, amongst the ignorant. Nor wouldst thou be able to grasp a single word of
the Book or a single utterance of the Kindred of God [The Imáms of Shí’ih
Islám] concerning the mysteries of the beginning and the end. (Baha’u’llah,
‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’, ‘Javáhiru’l-Asrár’)
