…the highest and most excelling grace bestowed upon men is
the grace of “attaining unto the Presence of God” and of His recognition, which
has been promised unto all people. This is the utmost degree of grace
vouchsafed unto man by the All-Bountiful, the Ancient of Days, and the fulness
of His absolute bounty upon His creatures.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
