o the
recognition of God, the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great. In truth, that
knowledge which belongeth unto Mine own Essence is such as none hath ever
attained or will ever grasp, nor shall any heart be capable of bearing its
weight. Were We to disclose but a single word of this knowledge, the
hearts of all men would be filled with consternation, the foundations of
all things would crumble into ruin, and the feet of even the wisest among
men would be made to slip.

66 Within the treasury of Our Wisdom there lieth unrevealed a knowledge,
one word of which, if we chose to divulge it to mankind, would cause every
human being to recognize the Manifestation of God and to acknowledge His
omniscience, would enable every one to discover the secrets of all the
sciences, and to attain so high a station as to find himself wholly
independent of all past and future learning. Other knowledges We do as
well possess, not a single letter of which We can disclose, nor do We find
humanity able to hear even the barest reference to their meaning. Thus
have We informed you of the knowledge of God, the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise. Were We to find worthy vessels, We would deposit within them the
treasures of hidden meanings and impart unto them a knowledge, one letter
of which would encompass all created things.

67 O Inmost Heart of this Temple! We have made thee the dawning-place of
Our knowledge and the dayspring of Our wisdom unto all who are in heaven
and on earth. From thee have We caused all sciences to appear, and unto
thee shall We cause them to return. And from thee shall We bring them
forth a second time. Such, indeed, is Our promise, and potent are We to
effect Our purpose. Erelong shall We bring into being through thee
exponents of new and wondrous sciences, of potent and effective crafts,
and shall make manifest through them that which the heart of none of Our
servants hath yet conceived. Thus do We bestow upon whom We will
whatsoever We desire, and thus do We withdraw from whom We will what We
had once bestowed. Even so do We ordain whatsoever We please through Our
behest.

68 Say: Should We choose, at one time, to shed the radiance of Our loving
providence upon the mirrors of all things, and, at another, to withhold
from them the splendours of Our light, this verily lieth within Our power,
and none hath the right to ask "why" or "wherefore". For We are potent
indeed to achieve Our purpose, and render no account for that which
