This is the Day in which He Who held converse with God hath
attained the light of the Ancient of Days, and quaffed the pure waters of
reunion from this Cup that hath caused the seas to swell. Say: By the one true
God! Sinai is circling round the Day Spring of Revelation, while from the
heights of the Kingdom the Voice of the Spirit of God is heard proclaiming:
“Bestir yourselves, ye proud ones of the earth, and hasten ye unto Him.” Carmel
hath, in this Day, hastened in longing adoration to attain His court, whilst
from the heart of Zion there cometh the cry: “The promise is fulfilled. That
which had been announced in the holy Writ of God, the most Exalted, the
Almighty, the Best-Beloved, is made manifest.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from
the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
