Whilst I lay chained and fettered in the prison, one of thy
ministers extended Me his aid. Wherefore
hath God ordained for thee a station which the knowledge of none can comprehend
except His knowledge. Beware lest thou
barter away this sublime station. Thy
Lord, verily, doeth what He willeth.
What He pleaseth will God abrogate or confirm, and with Him is the
knowledge of all things in a Guarded Tablet.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Czar
Alexander II, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts’)
