Lauded and glorified
is He Who hath called the creation into being. He is the sovereign Truth, the
Knower of things unseen. The Mother Book is revealed and the Lord of Bounty is
established upon the most blessed seat of glory. The Dawn hath broken, yet the
people understand not. The signs have been ushered in, while He Who hath
revealed them is overwhelmed with manifest sorrow. Indeed I have endured that
which hath caused the world of existence to lament.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
