O Násir, O My servant! God, the Eternal Truth, beareth Me
witness. The Celestial Youth hath, in this Day, raised above the heads of men
the glorious Chalice of Immortality, and is standing expectant upon His seat,
wondering what eye will recognize His glory, and what arm will, unhesitatingly,
be stretched forth to seize the Cup from His snow-white Hand and drain it. Only
a few have as yet quaffed from this peerless, this soft-flowing grace of the
Ancient King. These occupy the loftiest mansions of Paradise, and are firmly
established upon the seats of authority. By the righteousness of God! Neither
the mirrors of His glory, nor the revealers of His names, nor any created
thing, that hath been or will ever be, can ever excel them, if ye be of them
that comprehend this truth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
