Lauded be Thy name, O my God! I testify that no thought of
Thee, howsoever wondrous, can ever ascend into the heaven of Thy knowledge, and
no praise of Thee, no matter how transcendent, can soar up to the atmosphere of
Thy wisdom. From eternity Thou hast been removed far above the reach and the
ken of the comprehension of Thy servants, and immeasurably exalted above the
strivings of Thy bondslaves to express Thy mystery. What power can the shadowy
creature claim to possess when face to face with Him Who is the Uncreated?
I bear witness that the highest thoughts of all such as
adore Thy unity, and the profoundest contemplations of all them that have
recognized Thee, are but the product of what hath been generated through the
movement of the Pen of Thy behest, and hath been begotten by Thy will.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
