By God! This Bird of Heaven, now dwelling upon the dust,
can, besides these melodies, utter a myriad songs, and is able, apart from
these utterances, to unfold innumerable mysteries. Every single note of its
unpronounced utterances is immeasurably exalted above all that hath already
been revealed, and immensely glorified beyond that which hath streamed from
this Pen. Let the future disclose the hour when the Brides of inner meaning
will, as decreed by the Will of God, hasten forth, unveiled, out of their
mystic mansions, and manifest themselves in the ancient realm of being. Nothing
whatsoever is possible without His permission; no power can endure save through
His power, and there is none other God but He. His is the world of creation,
and His the Cause of God. All proclaim His Revelation, and all unfold the
mysteries of His Spirit.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
