Know thou…that in the Day of His Manifestation all things
besides God shall be brought forth and placed equally, irrespective of their
rank being high or low. The Day of Return is inscrutable unto all men until
after the divine Revelation hath been fulfilled. He is in truth the One Who
ordaineth whatsoever He willeth. When the Word of God is revealed unto all
created things whoso then giveth ear and heedeth the Call is, indeed, reckoned
among the most distinguished souls, though he be a carrier of ashes. And he who
turneth away is accounted as the lowliest of His servants, though he be a ruler
amongst men and the possessor of all the books that are in the heavens and on
earth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
