By God! Troubles have failed to unnerve Me, and the
repudiation of the divines hath been powerless to weaken Me. I have spoken, and
still speak forth before the face of men: ‘The door of grace hath been unlocked
and He Who is the Dayspring of Justice is come with perspicuous signs and
evident testimonies, from God, the Lord of strength and of might!’ Present
thyself before Me that thou mayest hear the mysteries which were heard by the
Son of ‘Imrán [Moses] upon the Sinai of Wisdom. Thus commandeth thee He Who is
the Dawning-Place of the Revelation of thy Lord, the God of Mercy, from His
great Prison.
- Baha’u’llah (From the ‘Tablet of the Proof’ [Kawh-i-Burhan]
addressed to Shaykh Muhammad Báqir, denounced by Bahá’u’lláh as the ‘Wolf’;
Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
