Regard thou the one true God as One Who is apart from, and
immeasurably exalted above, all created things. The whole universe reflecteth
His glory, while He is Himself independent of, and transcendeth His creatures.
This is the true meaning of Divine unity. He Who is the Eternal Truth is the
one Power Who exerciseth undisputed sovereignty over the world of being, Whose
image is reflected in the mirror of the entire creation. All existence is
dependent upon Him, and from Him is derived the source of the sustenance of all
things. This is what is meant by Divine unity; this is its fundamental
principle.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
