Justice is, in this day, bewailing its plight, and Equity
groaneth beneath the yoke of oppression. The thick clouds of tyranny have
darkened the face of the earth, and enveloped its peoples. Through the movement
of Our Pen of glory We have, at the bidding of the omnipotent Ordainer,
breathed a new life into every human frame, and instilled into every word a
fresh potency. All created things proclaim the evidences of this world-wide
regeneration. This is the most great, the most joyful tidings imparted by the
Pen of this wronged One to mankind.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings
of Baha’u’llah’)
