The Word of God is the king of words and its pervasive
influence is incalculable. It hath ever dominated and will continue to dominate
the realm of being. The Great Being saith: The Word is the master key for the
whole world, inasmuch as through its potency the doors of the hearts of men,
which in reality are the doors of heaven, are unlocked. No sooner had but a glimmer
of its effulgent splendour shone forth upon the mirror of love than the blessed
word ‘I am the Best-Beloved’ was reflected therein. It is an ocean
inexhaustible in riches, comprehending all things. Every thing which can be
perceived is but an emanation therefrom. High, immeasurably high is this
sublime station, in whose shadow moveth the essence of loftiness and splendour,
wrapt in praise and adoration.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed
after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
