O concourse of the fair-minded! Observe and reflect upon the
billows of the ocean of the utterance and knowledge of God, so that ye may
testify with your inner and outer tongues that with Him is the knowledge of all
that is in the Book. Nothing escapeth His knowledge. He, verily, hath
manifested that which was hidden, when He, upon His return, mounted the throne
of the Bayán. All that hath been sent down hath and will come to pass, word for
word, upon earth. No possibility is left for anyone either to turn aside or
protest. As fairness, however, is disgraced and concealed, most men speak as
prompted by their own idle fancies.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the
Wolf’)
