In this day the
verses of the Mother Book are resplendent and unmistakable even as the sun.
They can in no wise be mistaken for any of the past or more recent utterances.
Truly this Wronged One desireth not to demonstrate His Own Cause with proofs
produced by others. He is the One Who embraceth all things, while all else
besides Him is circumscribed. Say, O people, peruse that which is current
amongst you and We will peruse what pertaineth unto Us. I swear by God! Neither
the praise of the peoples of the world, nor the things that the kindreds of the
earth possess are worthy of mention before the remembrance of His Name. Unto
this beareth witness He Who under all conditions proclaimeth, ‘Verily He is
God, the sovereign Ruler of the Day of Reckoning and the Lord of the mighty
Throne.’
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
