From the heaven of God’s Will, and for the purpose of
ennobling the world of being and of elevating the minds and souls of men, hath
been sent down that which is the most effective instrument for the education of
the whole human race. The highest essence and most perfect expression of
whatsoever the peoples of old have either said or written hath, through this
most potent Revelation, been sent down from the heaven of the Will of the
All-Possessing, the Ever-Abiding God.
- Baha’u’llah (Lawh-i-Dunya [Tablet of the
World]; ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
