A
drop of the billowing ocean of His [God’s] endless mercy hath adorned all
creation with the ornament of existence, and a breath wafted from His peerless
Paradise hath invested all beings with the robe of His sanctity and glory. A
sprinkling from the unfathomed deep of His sovereign and all-pervasive Will
hath, out of utter nothingness, called into being a creation which is infinite
in its range and deathless in its duration. The wonders of His bounty can never
cease, and the stream of His merciful grace can never be arrested. The process
of His creation hath had no beginning, and can have no end.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
