Every word that proceedeth out of the
mouth of God is endowed with such potency as can instill new life into every
human frame, if ye be of them that comprehend this truth. All the wondrous
works ye behold in this world have been manifested through the operation of His
supreme and most exalted Will, His wondrous and inflexible Purpose. Through the
mere revelation of the word "Fashioner," issuing forth from His lips
and proclaiming His attribute to mankind, such power is released as can
generate, through successive ages, all the manifold arts which the hands of man
can produce. This, verily, is a certain truth. No sooner is this resplendent
word uttered, than its animating energies, stirring within all created things,
give birth to the means and instruments whereby such arts can be produced and
perfected. All the wondrous achievements ye now witness are the direct
consequences of the Revelation of this Name. In the days to come, ye will,
verily, behold things of which ye have never heard before. Thus hath it been
decreed in the Tablets of God, and none can comprehend it except them whose
sight is sharp.
(Baha'u'llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
