April 2

Morning

The Commander of the Faithful (Imám ‘Alí) hath said: “I am He Who can neither be named, nor described.” And likewise He hath said: “Outwardly I am an Imám; inwardly I am the Unseen, the Unknowable.” 

- Baha’u’llah  (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)

Evening

Gracious God! But for fear of the Nimrod of tyranny and for the protection of the Abraham of justice, I would reveal unto thee that which, wert thou to abandon self and desire, would enable thee to dispense with aught else and to draw nigh unto this city. [“the City of Absolute Nothingness”] 

- Baha’u’llah  (‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’)
