We verily behold, at this hour and from His realm, all the
denizens of earth and heaven, and summon them to this Beauty that hath solaced
the eyes of the inmates of Paradise and the dwellers of the tabernacle of
holiness, them that have fixed their gaze on this Scene of resplendent glory
and whom the veils of human limitations have failed to debar from beholding the
countenance of God, the Almighty, the Most Wondrous. He it is Who proclaimeth
within all things: “Verily, I am your Lord, the Merciful, the Compassionate.
From time immemorial I was a Treasure hidden in a station unknown to all save
Mine own Self, the All-Knowing, the All-Informed. Cast away all that ye possess
and soar on the wings of detachment into this atmosphere wherein waft the
breezes of the mercy of your Lord, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
