Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! Thou art He Who hath created
all things through a word uttered by Thy behest, and fashioned the entire creation
through the power of Thy sovereignty and might. The mightiest of men are abased
before the revelations of Thy glory, and they who are endued with strength
tremble when faced with the evidences of Thy might. Every man of insight is
bereft of vision when confronted with the effulgence of the glory of Thy face,
and he who is possessed of riches is poor and desolate when beholding the
plenteousness of Thy wealth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by
Baha’u’llah’)
