The Pen of Holiness, I solemnly affirm
before God, hath writ upon My snow-white brow and in characters of effulgent
glory these glowing, these musk-scented and holy words: ‘Behold ye that dwell
on earth, and ye denizens of heaven, bear witness, He in truth is your
Well-Beloved. He it is Whose like the world of creation hath not seen, He Whose
ravishing beauty hath delighted the eye of God, the Ordainer, the All-Powerful,
the Incomparable!’
(Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Dispensation
of Baha’u’llah’)
