If these obstructing
veils had not intervened Persia would, in some two years, have been subdued
through the power of utterance, the position of both the government and the
people would have been raised and the Supreme Goal, unveiled and unconcealed,
would have appeared in the plenitude of glory. In short, sometimes in explicit
language, at other times by allusion, We said whatever had to be said. Thus,
once Persia had been rehabilitated, the sweet savours of the Word of God would
have wafted over all countries, inasmuch as that which hath streamed forth from
the Most Exalted Pen is conducive to the glory, the advancement and education
of all the peoples and kindreds of the earth. Indeed it is the sovereign remedy
for every disease, could they but comprehend and perceive it.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
