Know thou that the passages that We have called “ambiguous”
appear as such only in the eyes of them that have failed to soar above the
horizon of guidance and to reach the heights of knowledge in the retreats of
grace. For otherwise, unto them that have recognized the Repositories of divine
Revelation and beheld through His inspiration the mysteries of divine
authority, all the verses of God are perspicuous and all His allusions are
clear. Such men discern the inner mysteries that have been clothed in the
garment of words as clearly as ye perceive the heat of the sun or the wetness
of water, nay even more distinctly. Immeasurably exalted is God
above our praise of His loved ones, and beyond their praise of Him! (Baha’u’llah,
‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’, ‘Javáhiru’l-Asrár’)
