Verily God is fully capable of causing all names to appear
in one name, and all souls in one soul. Surely powerful and mighty is He. And
this Return is realized at His behest in whatever form He willeth. Indeed He is
the One Who doeth and ordaineth all things. Moreover, thou shouldst not
perceive the fulfilment of the Return and the Resurrection save in the Word of
thy Lord, the Almighty, the All-Knowing. For instance, were He to take a
handful of earth and declare it to be the One Whom ye have been following in
the past, it would undoubtedly be just and true, even as His real Person, and
to none is given the right to question His authority. He doeth what He willeth
and ordaineth whatsoever He pleaseth. Moreover, in this station take thou heed
not to turn thy gaze unto limitations and allusions, but rather unto that
whereby the Revelation itself hath been fulfilled and be of them that are discerning.
Thus do We explain for thee in a lucid and explicit language that thou mayest
comprehend that which thou didst seek from thine ancient Lord.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
