Whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth is a
direct evidence of the revelation within it of the attributes and names of God,
inasmuch as within every atom are enshrined the signs that bear eloquent
testimony to the revelation of that Most Great Light. Methinks, but for the potency
of that revelation, no being could ever exist. How resplendent the luminaries
of knowledge that shine in an atom, and how vast the oceans of wisdom that
surge within a drop! To a supreme degree is this true of man, who, among all
created things, hath been invested with the robe of such gifts, and hath been
singled out for the glory of such distinction.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from
the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
