Announce unto
yourselves the joyful tidings: “He Who is the Best-Beloved is come! He hath
crowned Himself with the glory of God’s Revelation, and hath unlocked to the
face of men the doors of His ancient Paradise.” Let all eyes rejoice, and let
every ear be gladdened, for now is the time to gaze on His beauty, now is the
fit time to hearken to His voice. Proclaim unto every longing lover: “Behold,
your Well-Beloved hath come among men!”
- Baha’u’llah (Cited by the Universal
House of Justice in a letter dated 158 B.E. addressed to the Iranian believers
throughout the world)
