O concourse of earth and heaven! This is that first night,
[Birth of the Báb] which God hath made to be a sign of that second night,
[Birth of Baha’u’llah] whereon was born He Whom no praise can befittingly extol
and no attribute describe. Well is it with him who reflecteth upon them both:
Verily, he will find their outer reality to correspond to their inner essence,
and will become acquainted with the divine mysteries that lie enshrined in this
Revelation, a Revelation through which the foundations of misbelief have been
shaken, the idols of superstition have been shattered, and the banner hath been
unfurled which proclaimeth, “No God is there but Him, the Powerful, the
Exalted, the Incomparable, the Protector, the Mighty, the Inaccessible.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Days of Remembrance’)
