O Maid of inner meanings! Step out of the chamber of
utterance by the leave of God, the Lord of the heavens and the earth. Reveal,
then, thyself adorned with the raiment of the celestial Realm, and proffer with
thy ruby fingers the wine of the heavenly Dominion, that haply the denizens of
this world may perceive the light that shone forth from the Kingdom of God when
the Daystar of eternity appeared above the horizon of glory. Perchance they may
arise before the dwellers of earth and heaven to extol and magnify this Youth
Who hath established Himself in the midmost heart of Paradise upon the throne
of His name, the All-Sufficing Helper—He upon Whose countenance shineth the
brightness of the All-Merciful, from Whose gaze appear the glances of the
All-Glorious, and in Whose ways are revealed the tokens and evidences of God, the
omnipotent Protector, the Almighty, the All-Loving. - Baha’u’llah (Súriy-i-Haykal, ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
