… there can be no doubt that from everlasting God hath been
invested with the independent sovereignty of His exalted Being, and unto
everlasting He will remain inaccessible in the transcendent majesty of His holy
Essence. No creature hath ever recognized Him as befitteth His recognition, nor
hath any created being ever praised Him as is worthy of His praise. He is
exalted above every name, and is sanctified from every comparison. Through Him
all things are made known, while too lofty is His reality to be known through
anyone but Him. The process of His creation hath had no beginning and can have
no end, otherwise it would necessitate the cessation of His celestial grace.
God hath raised up Prophets and revealed Books as numerous as the creatures of
the world, and will continue to do so to everlasting. - The Báb ('Selections from
the Writings of the Báb')
