Had the Primal Point been someone else beside
Me as ye claim, and had attained My presence, verily He would have never allowed
Himself to be separated from Me, but rather We would have had mutual delights
with each other in My Days. He, in truth, wept sore in His remoteness from Me.
He preceded Me that He might summon the people unto My Kingdom, as it hath been
set forth in the Tablets, could ye but perceive it! O would that men of hearing
might be found who could hear the voice of His lamentation in the Bayan
bewailing that which hath befallen Me at the hands of these heedless souls,
bemoaning His separation from Me and giving utterance to His longing to be
united with Me, the Mighty, the Peerless. He, verily, beholdeth at this very
moment His Best-Beloved amidst those who were created to attain His Day and to
prostrate themselves before Him, and yet who have inflicted in their tyranny
such abasement upon Him as the pen confesseth its inability to describe.
- Baha'u'llah (‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
