Immeasurably glorified and exalted art Thou. How can I make
mention of Thee, O Thou the Beloved of the entire creation; and how can I
acknowledge Thy claim, O Thou, before Whom every created thing standeth in awe.
The loftiest station to which human perception can soar and the utmost height
which the minds and souls of men can scale are but signs created through the
potency of Thy command and tokens manifested through the power of Thy
Revelation. Far be it from Thy glory that anyone other than Thee should make
mention of Thee or should attempt to voice Thy praise. The very essence of
every reality beareth witness to its debarment from the precincts of the court
of Thy nearness, and the quintessence of every being testifieth to its failure
to attain Thy holy Presence. Immeasurably glorified and exalted art Thou! That
which alone beseemeth Thee is the befitting mention made by Thine Own Self, and
that only which is worthy of Thee is the anthem of praise voiced by Thine Own
Essence...
