Know thou, moreover, that the Word of God - exalted be His
glory - is higher and far superior to that which the senses can perceive, for
it is sanctified from any property or substance. It transcendeth the
limitations of known elements and is exalted above all the essential and
recognized substances. It became manifest without any syllable or sound and is
none but the Command of God which pervadeth all created things. It hath never
been withheld from the world of being. It is God's all-pervasive grace, from
which all grace doth emanate. It is an entity far removed above all that hath
been and shall be. - Baha'u'llah ('Tablets of Baha'u'llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas')
