O SON OF MY HANDMAID!
Didst thou behold immortal sovereignty, thou wouldst strive to pass from thisfleeting world. But to conceal the one from thee and to reveal the other is a mystery which none but the pure in heart can comprehend.
- Baha'u'llah, The Persian Hidden Words, no. 41
To be brief; our purpose is to show that the divine sovereignty, the Kingdom of God, is an ancient sovereignty; that it is not an accidental sovereignty; just as a kingdom presupposes the existence of subjects, of an army, of a country; for otherwise the state of dominion, authority and kingdom cannot be conceived of.
- Abdu’l-Bahá, Foundations of World Unity, p. 108
