Can one of sane mind ever seriously imagine that, in view of
certain words the meaning of which he cannot comprehend, the portal of God’s
infinite guidance can ever be closed in the face of men? Can he ever conceive
for these Divine Luminaries, these resplendent Lights either a beginning or an
end? What outpouring flood can compare with the stream of His all-embracing
grace, and what blessing can excel the evidences of so great and pervasive a
mercy? There can be no doubt whatever that if for one moment the tide of His
mercy and grace were to be withheld from the world, it would completely perish.
For this reason, from the beginning that hath no beginning the portals of
Divine mercy have been flung open to the face of all created things, and the
clouds of Truth will continue to the end that hath no end to rain on the soil
of human capacity, reality and personality their favors and bounties. Such hath
been God’s method continued from everlasting to everlasting.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
