I noted, moreover, thine allusions to thy death in God and
thy life through Him, and the love thou dost cherish for the beloved of the
Lord and for the Manifestations of His names and the Exponents of His
attributes. I have purposed, therefore, to acquaint thee with holy and
resplendent tokens from the realms of might and glory, that haply they may draw
thee nigh unto the court of holiness, nearness, and beauty, and draw thee to a
station wherein thou shalt see naught in all existence but the hallowed Countenance
of thy Beloved, and wilt behold all of creation as a day wherein none was
deemed worthy of mention.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Seven Valleys’, 2019 revised translation by the Baha’i World Centre; ‘The
Call of the Divine Beloved’)
