…it is indeed within the power of Him Who changeth the earth
into another earth to transform all that dwell and move thereon. Wherefore marvel
not at how He turneth darkness into light, light into darkness, ignorance into
knowledge, error into guidance, death into life, and life into death. It is in
this station that the law of transformation taketh effect. Ponder thereon, if
thou be of them that tread this path, that all thou didst ask of this lowly One
may be made plain unto thee and that thou mayest abide within the tabernacle of
this guidance. For He doeth whatsoever He willeth and ordaineth whatsoever He
pleaseth. Nor shall He be asked of His doings, whilst all men will be asked of
their every deed. [cf. Qur’án 21:23]
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’)
