Glorified be God! The Pen is perplexed what to write and the
Tongue wondereth what to utter. Despite unprecedented hardships and after
enduring years of imprisonment, captivity and woeful trials, We now perceive
that veils thicker than the ones We have already torn asunder have intervened,
obstructing the vision and causing the light of understanding to be obscured.
Moreover We observe that the fresh calumnies which are now rife are far more
malicious than those of former days. (Baha’u’llah, ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
