O thou who art standing before My Throne and yet remain
unaware thereof! Know thou that whoso seeketh to scale the summits of the
divine mysteries must needs strive to the utmost of his power and capacity for
his Faith, that the pathway of guidance may be made clear unto him. And should
he encounter One Who layeth claim to a Cause from God, and Who holdeth from His
Lord a testimony beyond the power of men to produce, he must needs follow Him
in all that He pleaseth to proclaim, command and ordain, even were He to decree
the sea to be land, or to pronounce earth to be heaven, or that the former
lieth above the latter or below it, or to ordain any change or transformation,
for He, verily, is aware of the celestial mysteries, the unseen subtleties, and
the ordinances of God. (Baha’u’llah, ‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’, ‘Javáhiru’l-Asrár’)
