At this moment a Voice was raised from the Lote-Tree beyond
which there is no passing, in the heart of the Most Sublime Paradise, bidding
Me relate unto thee that which hath been sent down in the Books and Tablets,
and the things spoken by My Forerunner, Who laid down His life for this Great
Announcement, this Straight Path. He hath said—and He, verily, speaketh the
truth: “I have written down in My mention of Him these gem-like words: ‘No
allusion of Mine can allude unto Him, neither anything mentioned in the
Bayán.’” And further, He—exalted and glorified be He—saith, concerning this
most mighty Revelation, this Great Announcement: “Exalted and glorified is He
above the power of any one to reveal Him except Himself, or the description of
any of His creatures. I Myself am but the first servant to believe in Him and
in His signs, and to partake of the sweet savors of His words from the
first-fruits of the Paradise of His knowledge. Yea, by His glory! He is the
Truth. There is none other God but Him. All have arisen at His bidding.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
