The Pen of Holiness, I solemnly affirm before God, hath writ upon
My snow-white brow and in characters of effulgent glory these glowing, these
musk-scented and holy words: ‘Behold ye that dwell on earth, and ye denizens of
heaven, bear witness, He in truth is your Well-Beloved. He it is Whose like the
world of creation hath not seen, He Whose ravishing beauty hath delighted the
eye of God, the Ordainer, the All-Powerful, the Incomparable!’
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated February 8, 1934; ‘The Dispensation of
Baha’u’llah’)
