If
it be your wish, O people, to know God and to discover the greatness of His
might, look, then, upon Me with Mine own eyes, and not with the eyes of any one
besides Me. Ye will, otherwise, be never capable of recognizing Me, though ye
ponder My Cause as long as My Kingdom endureth, and
meditate upon all created things throughout the eternity of God, the Sovereign
Lord of all, the Omnipotent, the Ever-Abiding, the All-Wise. Thus have We
manifested the truth of Our Revelation, that haply the people may be roused
from their heedlessness, and be of them that understand.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
