O Temple of Holiness! We, verily, have made
Thine inmost heart the treasury of all the knowledge of past and future ages,
and the dawning-place of Our own knowledge which We have ordained for the
dwellers of earth and heaven, that all creation may partake of the outpourings
of Thy grace and may attain, through the wonders of Thy knowledge, unto the
recognition of God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great. In truth, that
knowledge which belongeth unto Mine own Essence is such as none hath ever
attained or will ever grasp, nor shall any heart be capable of bearing its
weight. Were We to disclose but a single word of this knowledge, the hearts of
all men would be filled with consternation, the foundations of all things would
crumble into ruin, and the feet of even the wisest among men would be made to
slip.
(Baha'u'llah, ‘Suriy-i-Haykal, ‘The
Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
