In these days, inasmuch as We have lifted not the veils that
conceal the countenance of the Cause of God, nor disclosed unto men the fruits
of these stations which We have been forbidden to describe, thou beholdest them
drunk with heedlessness. Otherwise, were the glory of this station to be
revealed unto men to an extent smaller than a needle's eye, thou wouldst
witness them gathering before the threshold of divine mercy and hastening from
all sides to the court of nearness in the realms of divine glory. We have
concealed it, however, as mentioned before, that those who believe may be
distinguished from them that deny, and that those who turn unto God may be
discerned from them that turn aside. I verily proclaim: "There is no power
nor strength except in God, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting."
(Baha'u'llah, ‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’)
