Lift up the veils and coverings that obscure your vision,
and consider the testimonies of the Prophets and Messengers, that haply ye may
recognize the Cause of God in these days when the Promised One hath come
invested with a mighty sovereignty. Fear
God, and debar yourselves not from Him Who is the Dayspring of His signs. This shall, in truth, but profit your own
selves; as to your Lord, He, verily, can afford to dispense with all creatures. From everlasting was He alone; there was none
else besides Him. He it is in Whose name
the standard of Divine Unity hath been planted upon the Sinai of the visible
and invisible worlds, proclaiming that there is none other God but Me, the
Peerless, the Glorious, the Incomparable.
- Baha'u'llah (‘Suriy-i-Haykal, ‘The Summons
of the Lord of Hosts’)
