All praise be unto Thee, O Thou besides Whom there is none
other God…Indeed shouldst Thou desire to confer blessing upon a servant Thou
wouldst blot out from the realm of his heart every mention or disposition
except Thine Own mention; and shouldst Thou ordain evil for a servant by reason
of that which his hands have unjustly wrought before Thy face, Thou wouldst
test him with the benefits of this world and of the next that he might become
preoccupied therewith and forget Thy remembrance. - The Báb ('Selections from the
Writings of the Báb')
