O peoples of the world! Give ear unto the call of Him Who is the
Lord of Names, Who proclaimeth unto you from His habitation in the Most Great
Prison: “Verily, no God is there but Me, the Powerful, the Mighty, the
All-Subduing, the Most Exalted, the Omniscient, the All-Wise.” In truth, there
is no God but Him, the Omnipotent Ruler of the worlds. Were it His Will, He
would, through but a single word proceeding from His presence, lay hold on all
mankind. Beware lest ye hesitate in your acceptance of this Cause—a Cause
before which the Concourse on high and the dwellers of the Cities of Names have
bowed down. Fear God, and be not of those who are shut out as by a veil. Burn
ye away the veils with the fire of My love, and dispel ye the mists of vain
imaginings by the power of this Name through which We have subdued the entire
creation.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
