O night of the All-Bountiful![1] In thee do We verily behold
the Mother Book. Is it a Book, in truth, or rather a child begotten? Nay, by
Myself! Such words pertain to the realm of names, whilst God hath sanctified
this Book above all names. Through it the Hidden Secret and the Treasured
Mystery have been revealed. Nay, by My life! All that hath been mentioned
pertaineth to the realm of attributes, whereas the Mother Book standeth supreme
above this. Through it have appeared the manifestations of “There is no God but
God” over them all. Nay, while such things have been proclaimed to all people,
in the estimation of thy Lord naught but His ear is capable of hearing them.
Blessed are those that are well assured! - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
[Birth of the Báb]
