The verses are sent down at one time in a form that is
untroubled by the rules of grammarians, transcending what the minds of men have
yet conceived; and at another time they are sent down in a style that
conformeth to the standards of men. Thy Lord, verily, is potent over whatsoever
He willeth by virtue of His words "Be, and it is." Wert thou to view
them with Mine eyes thou wouldst see that they are in conformity with the most
consummate rules, and wouldst give thanks to the Lord, the Almighty, the
Best-Beloved.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by the Universal House of Justice in a
letter dated 26 November 1986written on its behalf to a National Spiritual
Assembly; ‘Messages from the Universal House of Justice 1986-2001’)
