Well is it with the man of discernment who hath recognized
and perceived the Truth, and the one possessed of a hearing ear who hath
hearkened unto His sweet Voice, and the hand that hath received His Book with
such resolve as is born of God, the Lord of this world and of the next, and the
earnest wayfarer who hath hastened unto His glorious Horizon, and the one
endued with strength whom neither the overpowering might of the rulers, nor the
tumult raised by the leaders of religion hath been able to shake. And woe
betide him who hath rejected the grace of God and His bounty, and hath denied
His tender mercy and authority; such a man is indeed reckoned with those who
have throughout eternity repudiated the testimony of God and His proof.
(Baha’u’llah,
excerpt from Tajalliyat [Effulgences]; ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after
the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
