Blessed are the people of Bahá! God beareth Me witness! They
are the solace of the eye of creation. Through them the universes have been
adorned, and the Preserved Tablet embellished. They are the ones who have
sailed on the ark of complete independence, with their faces set towards the
Dayspring of Beauty. How great is their blessedness that they have attained
unto what their Lord, the Omniscient, the All-Wise, hath willed. Through their
light the heavens have been adorned, and the faces of those that have drawn
nigh unto Him made to shine.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The
Advent of Divine Justice’)
