I have through the grace of God and His might besought the
help of no one in the past, neither will I seek the help of any one in the
future. He it is Who aided Me, through the power of truth, during the days of
My banishment in ‘Iráq. He it is Who overshadowed Me with His protection at a
time when the kindreds of the earth were contending with Me. He it is Who
enabled Me to depart out of the city, clothed with such majesty as none, except
the denier and the malicious, can fail to admit.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from
the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
