Say, God is my witness! The Promised One Himself hath come
down from heaven, seated upon the crimson cloud with the hosts of revelation on
His right, and the angels of inspiration on His left, and the Decree hath been
fulfilled at the behest of God, the Omnipotent, the Almighty. Thereupon the
footsteps of everyone have slipped except such as God hath protected through
His tender mercy and numbered with those who have recognized Him through His
Own Self and detached themselves from all that pertaineth to the world.
Hearken thou unto the Words of thy Lord and purify thy heart
from every illusion so that the effulgent light of the remembrance of thy Lord
may shed its radiance upon it, and it may attain the station of certitude.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
