Every Word That Proceedeth Out Of The

Sources: Gleanings From The Writings Of Baha'u'llah

Every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God is endowed with such

potency as can instill new life into every human frame, if ye be of them

that comprehend this truth. All the wondrous works ye behold in this world

have been manifested through the operation of His supreme and most exalted

Will, His wondrous and inflexible Purpose. Through the mere revelation of

the word "Fashioner," issuing forth from His lips and proclaiming is

attribute to mankind, such power is released as can generate, through

successive ages, all the manifold arts which the hands of man can produce.

This, verily, is a certain truth. No sooner is this resplendent word

uttered, than its animating energies, stirring within all created things,

give birth to the means and instruments whereby such arts can be produced

and perfected. All the wondrous achievements ye now witness are the direct

consequences of the Revelation of this Name. In the days to come, ye will,

verily, behold things of which ye have never heard before. Thus hath it

been decreed in the Tablets of God, and none can comprehend it except them

whose sight is sharp. In like manner, the moment the word expressing My

attribute "The Omniscient" issueth forth from My mouth, every created

thing will, according to its capacity and limitations, be invested with

the power to unfold the knowledge of the most marvelous sciences, and will

be empowered to manifest them in the course of time at the bidding of Him

Who is the Almighty, the All-Knowing. Know thou of a certainty that the

Revelation of every other Name is accompanied by a similar manifestation

of Divine power. Every single letter proceeding out of the mouth of God is

indeed a mother letter, and every word uttered by Him Who is the Well

Spring of Divine Revelation is a mother word, and His Tablet a Mother

Tablet. Well is it with them that apprehend this truth.
