There hath branched
from the Sadratu’l-Muntahá this sacred and glorious Being, this Branch of
Holiness; well is it with him that hath sought His shelter and abideth beneath
His shadow. Verily the Limb of the Law of God hath sprung forth from this Root
which God hath firmly implanted in the Ground of His Will, and Whose Branch
hath been so uplifted as to encompass the whole of creation. Magnified be He,
therefore, for this sublime, this blessed, this mighty, this exalted Handiwork!
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
