his is," He
adds, "the most great, the most joyful tidings imparted by the pen of this
wronged One to mankind." "How great," He in another passage exclaims, "is
the Cause! How staggering the weight of its message! This is the Day of
which it hath been said: 'O my son! verily God will bring everything to
light though it were but the weight of a grain of mustard seed, and hidden
in a rock, or in the heavens or in the earth; for God is subtile, informed
of all.'" "By the righteousness of the one true God! If one speck of a
jewel be lost and buried beneath a mountain of stones, and lie hidden
beyond the seven seas, the Hand of Omnipotence will assuredly reveal it in
this day, pure and cleansed from dross." "He that partaketh of the waters
of My Revelation will taste all the incorruptible delights ordained by God
from the beginning that hath no beginning to the end that hath no end."
"Every single letter proceeding from Our mouth is endowed with such
regenerative power as to enable it to bring into existence a new
creation--a creation the magnitude of which is inscrutable to all save God.
He verily hath knowledge of all things." "It is in Our power, should We
wish it, to enable a speck of floating dust to generate, in less than the
twinkling of an eye, suns of infinite, of unimaginable splendor, to cause
a dewdrop to develop into vast and numberless oceans, to infuse into every
letter such a force as to empower it to unfold all the knowledge of past
and future ages." "We are possessed of such power which, if brought to
light, will transmute the most deadly of poisons into a panacea of
unfailing efficacy."
Estimating the station of the true believer He remarks: "By the sorrows
which afflict the beauty of the All-Glorious! Such is the station ordained
for the true believer that if to an extent smaller than a needle's eye the
glory of that station were to be unveiled to mankind, every beholder would
be consumed away in his longing to attain it. For this reason it hath been
decreed that in this earthly life the full measure of the glory of his own
station should remain concealed from the eyes of such a believer." "If the
veil be lifted," He similarly affirms, "and the full glory of the station
of those who have turned wholly towards God, and in their love for Him
renounced the world, be made manifest, the entire creation would be
dumbfounded."
