Praised be Thou, O my God! This servant of Thine testifieth
that naught else except Thee can ever express Thee, nor canst Thou be described
by any one save Thyself. The thoughts of them that have recognized Thy reality,
however much they may ascend towards the heaven of Thy praise, can never hope
to pass beyond the bounds which, by Thy behest and decree, have been fixed
within their own hearts. How can the creature who is as nothing comprehend Him
Who is the Ancient of Days, or succeed in describing the full measure of His
sovereignty, His glory, and His grandeur? Nay, and to this Thou Thyself dost
witness, O Thou Who art the Governor of nations! Every created thing hath
recognized its own impotence, and the power of Thy might, and hath confessed
its own abasement and Thy great glory. - Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations
by Baha’u’lah’)
