Know thou… that the people aforetime have produced things
which the contemporary men of knowledge have been unable to produce. We recall
unto thee Murtús who was one of the learned. He invented an apparatus which
transmitted sound over a distance of sixty miles. Others besides him have also
discovered things which no one in this age hath beheld. Verily thy Lord
revealeth in every epoch whatsoever He pleaseth as a token of wisdom on His
part. He is in truth the supreme Ordainer, the All-Wise.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets
of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
