Out of utter nothingness, O great and omnipotent Master,
Thou hast, through the celestial potency of Thy might, brought me forth and
raised me up to proclaim this Revelation. I have made none other but Thee my
trust; I have clung to no will but Thy will... O Thou Remnant of God! I have
sacrificed myself wholly for Thee: I have accepted curses for Thy sake, and
have yearned for naught but martyrdom in the path of Thy love. Sufficient
witness unto me is God, the Exalted, the Protector, the Ancient of Days." - The Báb (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’ and
cited as a reference to Baha’u’llah)
