Lofty is the station of man! Not long ago this exalted Word
streamed forth from the treasury of Our Pen of Glory: Great and blessed is this
Day—the Day in which all that lay latent in man hath been and will be made
manifest. Lofty is the station of man, were he to hold fast to righteousness
and truth and to remain firm and steadfast in the Cause. In the eyes of the
All-Merciful a true man appeareth even as a firmament; its sun and moon are his
sight and hearing, and his shining and resplendent character its stars. His is
the loftiest station, and his influence educateth the world of being.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
