I swear by Thy glory, O Thou Who art the Lord of all being
and the Possessor of all things visible and invisible! Every man of
understanding hath been so bewildered at Thy knowledge, and every man endued
with insight been so perplexed in his attempt to fathom the signs of Thy great
glory, that all have recognized their powerlessness to visualize, and their
impotence to soar into, the heaven wherefrom one of the Luminaries of the
Manifestations of Thy knowledge and of the Day-Springs of Thy wisdom hath shone
forth. Who is he that shall befittingly describe this most sublime station and
this most august seat—the seat which, as decreed by Thee, transcendeth the
comprehension of Thy creatures and the testimonies of Thy servants, and which
hath everlastingly been hid from the understanding and the knowledge of men,
and been closed with the seal of Thy name, the Self-Subsisting. - Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
