Not long ago this most sublime Word was revealed in the
Crimson Book by the All-Glorious Pen: ‘The heaven of divine wisdom is illumined
with two luminaries: consultation and compassion’. Please God, everyone may be
enabled to observe this weighty and blessed word.
Certain people seem to be entirely bereft of understanding.
By clinging to the cord of idle fancy they have debarred themselves from the
Sure Handle. I swear by My life! Were they to reflect a while with fairness on
that which the All-Merciful hath sent down, they would, one and all,
spontaneously give utterance to these words, ‘Verily Thou art the Truth, the
manifest Truth.’
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
