From this station [City of Immortality] the wayfarer
ascendeth unto a City that hath no name or description, and whereof one heareth
neither sound nor mention. Therein flow the oceans of eternity, whilst this
city itself revolveth round the seat of eternity. Therein the sun of the Unseen
shineth resplendent above the horizon of the Unseen, a sun that hath its own
heavens and its own moons, which partake of its light and which rise from and
set upon the ocean of the Unseen. Nor can I ever hope to impart even a dewdrop
of that which hath been decreed therein, as none is acquainted with its
mysteries save God, its Creator and Fashioner, and His Manifestations.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’)
