O Haydar-‘Alí! Upon thee be My
glory and My praise. My counsels and admonitions have compassed the world. Yet,
instead of imparting joy and gladness they have caused grief, because some of
those who claim to love Me have waxed haughty and have inflicted upon Me such tribulations
as neither the followers of former religions nor the divines of Persia did ever
inflict.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Words of Paradise’;
Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
