And when this stage of the journey [“the City of Love”] is completed and the wayfarer hath soared beyond this lofty station, he entereth
the City of Divine Unity, and the garden of oneness, and the court of
detachment. In this plane the seeker casteth away all signs, allusions, veils,
and words, and beholdeth all things with an eye illumined by the effulgent
lights which God Himself hath shed upon him. In his journey he seeth all
differences return to a single word and all allusions culminate in a single
point. Unto this beareth witness he who sailed upon the ark of fire and
followed the inmost path to the pinnacle of glory in the realm of immortality:
“Knowledge is one point, which the foolish have multiplied.” [From a Hadíth]
This is the station that hath been alluded to in the tradition: “I am He,
Himself, and He is I, Myself, except that I am that I am, and He is that He
is.” [From a Hadíth] (Baha’u’llah, ‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’,
‘Javáhiru’l-Asrár’)
