This is the night [Birth of Baha’u’llah] wherein the doors
of Paradise were flung open and the gates of Hell were shut fast, the night
wherein the paradise of the All-Merciful was unveiled in the midmost heart of
creation, the breezes of God were wafted from the retreats of forgiveness, and
the Last Hour ushered in through the power of truth, could ye but know it. All
joy to this night through which all days have been suffused with light, though
none can apprehend this save those that are endued with certitude and
discernment!
- Baha’u’llah (Tablet of the Birth, ‘Days of Remembrance’)
