O concourse of earth and heaven! This is that first night,
[Birth of the Báb] which God hath made to be a sign of that second night,
[Birth of Baha’u’llah’] whereon was born He Whom no praise can befittingly
extol and no attribute describe. Well is it with him who reflecteth upon them
both: Verily, he will find their outer reality to correspond to their inner
essence, and will become acquainted with the divine mysteries that lie
enshrined in this Revelation, a Revelation through which the foundations of
misbelief have been shaken, the idols of superstition have been shattered, and
the banner hath been unfurled which proclaimeth, “No God is there but Him, the
Powerful, the Exalted, the Incomparable, the Protector, the Mighty, the
Inaccessible.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
