By the righteousness of God! The world’s horizon is
resplendent with the light of the Most Great Luminary, yet the generality of
mankind perceive it not. Verily He Who is the Sovereign Truth moveth before the
eyes of all men. Unto this beareth witness the One Who is proclaiming in the
midmost heart of the world, ‘In truth no God is there but Me, Omnipotent over
all things, whether of the past or of the future.’
Great is the blessedness of the believer who hath directed
himself towards Him and hath gained admittance into His presence, and woe
betide every disbeliever who hath turned away from God and followed the wayward
and the outcast.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
