Know thou of a truth that the soul, after its separation
from the body, will continue to progress until it attaineth the presence of
God, in a state and condition which neither the revolution of ages and
centuries, nor the changes and chances of this world, can alter. It will endure
as long as the Kingdom of God, His sovereignty, His dominion and power will
endure. It will manifest the signs of God and His attributes, and will reveal
His loving kindness and bounty. The movement of My Pen is stilled when it
attempteth to befittingly describe the loftiness and glory of so exalted a
station. The honor with which the Hand of Mercy will invest the soul is such as
no tongue can adequately reveal, nor any other earthly agency describe.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
