A drop of the billowing ocean of His endless mercy hath
adorned all creation with the ornament of existence, and a breath wafted from
His peerless Paradise hath invested all beings with the robe of His sanctity
and glory. A sprinkling from the unfathomed deep of His sovereign and
all-pervasive Will hath, out of utter nothingness, called into being a creation
which is infinite in its range and deathless in its duration. The wonders of
His bounty can never cease, and the stream of His merciful grace can never be
arrested. The process of His creation hath had no beginning, and can have no
end.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the
Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
