Every man endued with insight among Thy servants is
persuaded that my self liveth eternally and can never perish, inasmuch as
remembrance of Thee is eternal and will endure so long as Thine own Self
endureth, and Thy praise is everlasting and will last as long as Thine own
sovereignty will last. By its means Thou art glorified by such of Thy chosen
ones as call upon Thee and by the sincere among Thy servants. Nay, the praise
wherewith any one, in the entire creation, praiseth Thee proceedeth from this
exalted self and returneth unto it, even as the sun which, while it shineth,
sheddeth its splendor upon whatsoever may be exposed to its rays. From this sun
is generated, and unto it must return, the light which is shed over all things.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
