Thy might beareth me witness, O my Well-Beloved! The entire
creation hath been called into being to exalt Thy triumph and to establish
Thine ascendancy, and all the bounds that have been set by Thee are but the
signs of Thy sovereignty, and proclaim the power of Thy might. How great, how
very great, are the revelations of Thy wondrous power in all things! They are
such that the lowliest among Thy creatures hath been made by Thee a
manifestation of Thy most august attribute, and the most contemptible token of
Thy handiwork hath been chosen as a recipient of Thy most mighty name. Poverty,
as decreed by Thee, hath been made the means for the revelation of Thy riches,
and abasement a path leading to Thy glory, and sinfulness a cause for the
exercise of Thy forgiveness. By them Thou hast demonstrated that to Thee belong
Thy most excellent titles, and unto Thee pertain the wonders of Thy most
exalted attributes. - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
