Too high is the All-Merciful for the hearts of those who
have recognized Him to apprehend His true nature, or for the minds of men to
hope to fathom His essence. He verily is
exalted above the understanding of anyone besides Himself, and sanctified
beyond the comprehension of all else save Him.
From all eternity He hath been independent of the entire creation.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Nasiri’d-Din Shah, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple];
‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
