Strange and astonishing things exist in the earth but they are
hidden from the minds and the understanding of men. These things are capable of
changing the whole atmosphere of the earth and their contamination would prove
lethal. Great God! We have observed an amazing thing. Lightning or a force
similar to it is controlled by an operator and moveth at his command.
Immeasurably exalted is the Lord of Power Who hath laid bare that which He
purposed through the potency of His weighty and invincible command.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Words of Paradise’; Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
