God has ever regarded the hearts of His servants, and this too
by reason of His most great favor, that perchance mortal souls may be cleansed
and sanctified from earthly states and may attain unto the everlasting places.
But that Real King is in Himself sufficient unto Himself and independent of
all; neither does any advantage accrue to Him from the love of contingent
beings, nor does any hurt befall Him from their hatred. All earthly places
appear through Him and unto him return, and God singly and alone abides in His
own place which is holy above space and time, mention and utterance, sign,
description and definition, height and depth. And no one knows this save Him
and whosoever has knowledge of the Book.
- Baha’u’llah (From a Tablet, Baha’i
News no. 48, February 1931)
