Dost thou believe thou hast the power to frustrate His Will,
to hinder Him from executing His judgement, or to deter Him from exercising His
sovereignty? Pretendest thou that aught in the heavens or in the earth can
resist His Faith? No, by Him Who is the Eternal Truth! Nothing whatsoever in
the whole of creation can thwart His Purpose . . . Know thou, moreover, that He
it is Who hath, by His own behest, created all that is in the heavens and all
that is on the earth. He can, then, the thing that hath been created at His
bidding prevail against Him? - Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Bahá'u'lláh’; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol. II, The Power of Divine
Assistance)
