How puny and insignificant is the evanescent drop when
compared with the waves and billows of God’s limitless and everlasting Ocean,
and how utterly contemptible must every contingent and perishable thing appear
when brought face to face with the uncreated, the unspeakable glory of the
Eternal!... How can a fleeting fancy compare with the Self-Subsisting, and how
can the Creator be likened unto His creatures, who are but as the script of His
Pen? Nay, His script excelleth all things, and is sanctified from, and
immeasurably exalted above, all creatures.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the
Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
