High, immeasurably high art Thou above the endeavours of the
evanescent creature to soar unto the throne of Thine eternity, or of the poor
and wretched to attain the summit of Thine all-sufficing glory! From eternity
Thou didst Thyself describe Thine own Self unto Thy Self, and extol, in Thine
own Essence, Thine Essence unto Thine Essence. I swear by Thy glory, O my
Best-Beloved! Who is there besides Thee that can claim to know Thee, and who
save Thyself can make fitting mention of Thee? Thou art He Who, from eternity,
abode in His realm, in the glory of His transcendent unity, and the splendours
of His holy grandeur. Were any one except Thee to be deemed worthy of mention,
in all the kingdoms of Thy creation, from the highest realms of immortality
down to the level of this nether world, how could it, then, be demonstrated
that Thou art established upon the throne of Thy unity, and how could the
wondrous virtues of Thy oneness and Thy singleness be glorified? - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
