O Pen of the Most High! Bear thou witness, in thine own
self, that verily He is God and that there is none other God but Me, the Help
in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. Bear thou witness, then, by thine own essence,
that verily I am God and that there is none other God but Him, that all have
been created at My behest and that all abide by My command. Bear thou witness,
moreover, by thine inmost being, that this is the Beauty of God which hath
dawned above the horizon of the Unseen, a Beauty that hath ever been, and shall
ever remain, unknown to all save Himself. He, verily, is the Almighty, the
All-Glorious, the Best-Beloved. Through but one of His effulgences the
Day-Stars of majesty and grandeur have shone forth, the hearts of the denizens
of the everlasting realm and the sanctified realities that lay hid beneath the
mystic veil have been called into being, and the secrets of all that was and
shall be have been laid bare. - Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
