O thou who hast
fixed thy gaze upon My countenance! Say: O ye heedless ones! By reason of a
droplet ye have deprived yourselves of the ocean of heavenly verses and for the
sake of an insignificant atom ye have shut yourselves out from the splendours
of the Day-Star of Truth. Who else but Bahá hath the power to speak forth
before the face of mankind? Judge ye fairly and be not of the unjust. Through
Him the oceans have surged, the mysteries have been divulged and the trees have
lifted up their voices exclaiming: The kingdoms of earth and heaven are God’s,
the Revealer of signs, the Fountainhead of clear tokens. Peruse ye the Persian
Bayán revealed by Him Who heralded this Revelation and look at it with the eye
of fairness. Verily He will guide you aright to His Path. At this moment He
proclaimeth that which His tongue had formerly uttered when He was seated upon
the throne of His most exalted Name.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
