Where is the man of insight who will recognize and perceive
the truth? Where is to be found the man of hearing who will hearken unto My
wondrous Voice calling from the realm of glory? Where is the soul who will set
his face towards the Divine Lote-Tree in such wise that neither the
overpowering might of the kings, nor the violent commotions of their subjects
may frustrate him, lifting up his voice amidst the entire creation through the
power of wisdom and utterance and testifying unto that whereunto hath testified
God, that verily no God is there besides Him, the Powerful, the Invincible, the
Omnipotent, the Knowing, the Wise.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
