O My servants! Through the might of God and His power, and
out of the treasury of His knowledge and wisdom, I have brought forth and
revealed unto you the pearls that lay concealed in the depths of His
everlasting ocean. I have summoned the Maids of Heaven to emerge from behind
the veil of concealment, and have clothed them with these words of Mine—words
of consummate power and wisdom. I have, moreover, with the hand of divine
power, unsealed the choice wine of My Revelation, and have wafted its holy, its
hidden, and musk-laden fragrance upon all created things. Who else but
yourselves is to be blamed if ye choose to remain unendowed with so great an
outpouring of God’s transcendent and all-encompassing grace, with so bright a
revelation of His resplendent mercy?... - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the
Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
