God Witnesseth That There Is No God But

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

God witnesseth that there is no God but Him, the Gracious, the

Best-Beloved. All grace and bounty are His. To whomsoever He will He

giveth whatsoever is His wish. He, verily, is the All-Powerful, the

Almighty, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting. We, verily, believe in

Him Who, in the person of the Bab, hath been sent down by the Will of the

one true God, the King of Kings, the All-Praised. We, moreover, swear

fealt
to the One Who, in the time of Musta_gh_a_th_, is destined to be

made manifest, as well as to those Who shall come after Him till the end

that hath no end. We recognize in the manifestation of each one of them,

whether outwardly or inwardly, the manifestation of none but God Himself,

if ye be of those that comprehend. Every one of them is a mirror of God,

reflecting naught else but His Self, His Beauty, His Might and Glory, if

ye will understand. All else besides them are to be regarded as mirrors

capable of reflecting the glory of these Manifestations Who are themselves

the Primary Mirrors of the Divine Being, if ye be not devoid of

understanding. No one hath ever escaped them, neither are they to be

hindered from achieving their purpose. These Mirrors will everlastingly

succeed each other, and will continue to reflect the light of the Ancient

of Days. They that reflect their glory will, in like manner, continue to

exist for evermore, for the Grace of God can never cease from flowing.

This is a truth that none can disprove.
