Beware lest ye speak of duality in regard to My Self, for
all the atoms of the earth proclaim that there is none other God but Him, the
One, the Single, the Mighty, the Loving.
From the beginning that hath no beginning I have proclaimed, from the
realm of eternity, that I am God, none other God is there save Me, the Help in
Peril, the Self-Subsisting; and unto the end that hath no end I shall proclaim,
amidst the kingdom of names, that I am God, none other God is there beside Me,
the All-Glorious, the Best-Beloved.
Say: Lordship is My Name, whereof
I have created manifestations in the world of being, while We Ourself remain
sanctified above them, would ye but ponder this truth. And Godhead is My Name, whereof We have
created exponents whose power shall encompass the people of the earth and make
them true worshippers of God, could ye but recognize it. Thus should ye regard all Our Names, if ye be
endued with insight. (Baha'u'llah, Suriy-i-Haykal, The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts)
