We have consumed this densest of all veils, with the fire of
the love of the Beloved—the veil referred to in the saying: “The most grievous
of all veils is the veil of knowledge.” Upon its ashes, We have reared the
tabernacle of divine knowledge. We have, praise be to God, burned the “veils of
glory” with the fire of the beauty of the Best-Beloved. We have driven from the
human heart all else but Him Who is the Desire of the world, and glory therein.
We cleave to no knowledge but His Knowledge, and set our hearts on naught save
the effulgent glories of His light.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
