…all things are the
recipients and revealers of the splendours of that ideal King, and that the
signs of the revelation of that Sun, the Source of all splendour, exist and are
manifest in the mirrors of beings. Nay, were man to gaze with the eye of divine
and spiritual discernment, he will readily recognize that nothing whatsoever
can exist without the revelation of the splendour of God, the ideal King.
Consider how all created things eloquently testify to the revelation of that
inner Light within them. Behold how within all things the portals of the Ridván
of God are opened, that seekers may attain the cities of understanding and
wisdom, and enter the gardens of knowledge and power. Within every garden they
will behold the mystic bride of inner meaning enshrined within the chambers of
utterance in the utmost grace and fullest adornment.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Kitab-i-Iqan’)
