We… beseech God, exalted be He, to gather all mankind around
the Gulf of the Most Great Ocean, an ocean every drop of which proclaimeth that
He is the Harbinger of joy unto the world and the Quickener of all its
peoples. Praise be to God, the Lord of
the Day of Reckoning!
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Nasiri’d-Din Shah, Suriy-i-Haykal
[Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
