Hearken unto My voice that calleth from My prison, that it
may acquaint thee with the things that have befallen My Beauty, at the hands of
them that are the manifestations of My glory, and that thou mayest perceive how
great hath been My patience, notwithstanding My might, and how immense My
forbearance, notwithstanding My power.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Czar Alexander
II, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
