O Best-Beloved of the worlds! Reveal Thou in their stead [1]
such words as will waft the fragrance of Thy gracious favours over all mankind.
We have announced unto everyone that one single word from Thee excelleth all
that hath been sent down in the Bayán. Thou, indeed, hast power to do what
pleaseth Thee. Deprive not Thy servants of the overflowing bounties of the
ocean of Thy mercy! Thou, in truth, art He Whose grace is infinite.
- The Báb (Quoted by Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
