Praise be unto God, incomparable in majesty, power and
beauty, peerless in glory, might and grandeur; too high is He for human
imaginations to comprehend Him or for any peer or equal to be ascribed unto
Him. He hath clearly set forth His straight Path in words and utterances of
highest eloquence. Verily He is the All-Possessing, the Most Exalted. When He
purposed to call the new creation into being, He sent forth the Manifest and
Luminous Point from the horizon of His Will; it passed through every sign and
manifested itself in every form until it reached the zenith, as bidden by God,
the Lord of all men.
This Point is the focal centre of the circle of Names and
marketh the culmination of the manifestations of Letters in the world of
creation. Through it have appeared indications of the impenetrable Mystery, the
adorned Symbol, He Who standeth revealed in the Most Great Name—a Name which is
recorded in the luminous Tablet and is inscribed in the holy, the blessed, the
snow-white Scroll.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
