Were I to recount
unto thine eminence the dire adversities that have befallen Me, thou wouldst be
so grieved as to forsake the mention of all things and to forget thyself and
all that the Lord hath created on earth. But as this is not Our wish, I have
concealed the revelation of the divine decree in the heart of Bahá and veiled
it from the eyes of all that move in the realm of creation, that it may lay hid
within the tabernacle of the Unseen until such time as God will have revealed
its secret. “Naught in the heavens or on the earth can escape His knowledge,
and He, verily, perceiveth all things.” [cf. Qur’án 10:61; 34:3]
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’)
