These sublime words were heard today from the rustling of the divine

Lote-Tree which the Lord of Names hath, with the hand of celestial power, planted in the All-Highest Paradise:

 

The first Taraz and the first effulgence which hath dawned from the horizon of the Mother Book is that man should know his own self and recognize that which leadeth unto loftiness or lowliness, glory or abasement, wealth or poverty.

 

- Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 34
