By Thy glory! Were all the peoples of the earth to join
together to harm a single one of the people of Bahá, they would find themselves
powerless, for all that they see as harming Thy chosen ones is as light unto
them and as fire unto Thine enemies. Were it not for the confinement, in the
Most Great Prison, of Him Who is the Exponent of Thy transcendent sovereignty,
how would Thy Cause have been promulgated, Thy sovereignty manifested, Thy
might proclaimed, and the truth of Thy signs established? Would that I Myself
had borne all the tribulations of the world, out of love for Thee and for Thy
creatures!
O Lord! Open Thou the eyes of Thy servants, that they may
behold Thee at all times seated upon the throne of Thy grandeur and supreme
over all who are in heaven and on earth. Potent art Thou to do what Thou willest.
No God is there but Thee, the Almighty, the Most Powerful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days
of Remembrance’)
