O Pen! Give ear unto that which the unbelievers have imputed
to thee. Say: O assemblage of malice! Perish in your hatred, in your envy and
your unbelief! By Him Who is the Eternal Truth! This is that Pen through a mere
intimation of whose will the souls of the Concourse on high, and the realities
of the denizens of the everlasting realm, and the essences of human hearts and
minds, were all fashioned. This is that Pen through but a movement of which the
sun of might and grandeur, and the moon of loftiness and sanctity, and the
stars of grace and favour, were called into existence. This is that Pen through
which were created the all-highest Paradise and all that abide therein, and the
celestial garden and all that pertaineth thereto, could ye but comprehend. Say:
Through but a single stroke have been manifested the knowledge of all that was
and shall be, and the creation of all things past and future. Open then your
eyes that ye may bear witness to this truth. - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of
Remembrance’)
