hat which is the creature of their own conceptions and
the product of their own thoughts. The meditations of the profoundest
thinker, the devotions of the holiest of saints, the highest expressions
of praise from either human pen or tongue, are but a reflection of that
which hath been created within themselves, through the revelation of the
Lord, their God. Whoever pondereth this truth in his heart will readily
admit that there are certain limits which no human being can possibly
transgress. Every attempt which, from the beginning that hath no
beginning, hath been made to visualize and know God is limited by the
exigencies of His own creation--a creation which He, through the operation
of His own Will and for the purposes of none other but His own Self, hath
called into being. Immeasurably exalted is He above the strivings of human
mind to grasp His Essence, or of human tongue to describe His mystery. No
tie of direct intercourse can ever bind Him to the things He hath created,
nor can the most abstruse and most remote allusions of His creatures do
justice to His being. Through His world-pervading Will He hath brought
into being all created things. He is and hath ever been veiled in the
ancient eternity of His own exalted and indivisible Essence, and will
everlastingly continue to remain concealed in His inaccessible majesty and
glory. All that is in heaven and all that is in the earth have come to
exist at His bidding, and by His Will all have stepped out of utter
nothingness into the realm of being. How can, therefore, the creature
which the Word of God hath fashioned comprehend the nature of Him Who is
the Ancient of Days?

CXLIX: SHOULD ANY MAN, IN THIS DAY, ARISE AND,...

Should any man, in this Day, arise and, with absolute detachment from all
that is in the heavens and all that is on the earth, set his affections on
Him Who is the Day Spring of God's holy Revelation, he will, verily, be
empowered to subdue all created things, through the potency of one of the
Names of the Lord, his God, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise. Know thou of a
certainty that the Day Star of Truth hath, in this Day, shed upon the
world a radiance, the like of which bygone ages have never witnessed. Let
the light of His glory, O people, shine upon you, and be not of the
negligent.

When the victory arriveth, every man shall profess himself as believer and
shall hasten to
