Glorified, immeasurably glorified art Thou, in Whose hands
is the empire of whatsoever is in the heavens and whatsoever is on earth, Thou,
Who through but one word of Thy mouth, caused all things to expire and dissolve
asunder, and Who, by yet another word, caused whatever had been separated to be
combined and reunited! Magnified be Thy name, O Thou Who hast power over all
that are in the heavens and all that are on earth, Whose dominion embraceth
whatsoever is in the heaven of Thy Revelation and the kingdom of Thy creation.
None can equal Thee in Thy created realms; none can compare with Thee in the
universe Thou hast fashioned. The mind of no one hath comprehended Thee, and
the aspiration of no soul hath reached Thee. I swear by Thy might! Were any one
to soar, on whatever wings, as long as Thine own Being endureth, throughout the
immensity of Thy knowledge, he would still be powerless to transgress the
bounds which the contingent world hath set for him. How can, then, such a man
aspire to wing his flight into the atmosphere of Thy most exalted presence?
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
