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!” and to the messengers of the Monarch of love
impart the tidings: “Lo, the Adored One hath appeared arrayed in the fullness
of His glory!” O lovers of His beauty! Turn the anguish of your separation from
Him into the joy of an everlasting reunion, and let the sweetness of His
presence dissolve the bitterness of your remoteness from His court.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
