What! Believe ye in your hearts that ye possess the power to
extinguish the radiance of the Sun, or to eclipse its splendor? Nay, by My
life! Ye will never and can never achieve your purpose, though ye summon to
your aid all that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth. Walk ye in
the fear of God, and render not your works vain. Incline your ears to His
words, and be not of them that are shut out as by a veil from Him. Say: God is
My witness! I have wished nothing whatever for Myself. What I have wished is
the victory of God and the triumph of His Cause. He is Himself a sufficient
witness between you and Me. Were ye to cleanse your eyes, ye would readily
perceive how My deeds testify to the truth of My words, how My words are a
guide to My deeds.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writing of Baha’u’llah’)
