Editing Lawh-i-Ayat-i-Nur/Page3/Crawford47

Bear ye witness, therefore,
within thy self that all that hath been brought forth remaineth under His control and
moveth upon whosoever He willeth among His servants, and that there is none
other God except Him. He cannot be attained by any such method ye may employ,
nor can He be known by any such knowledge ye may acquire. Nay, He created these
stations in the souls of His servants for the sole purpose that all may reveal within
themselves that He created the divine Names, but is sanctified therefrom; and He
formed the divine Attributes, but is independent of them; and, that there is none
other Creator besides Him. To Him belong the Kingdoms of Revelation and Creation
and all hath been brought into being by virtue of His behest. Wherefore, say: Exalted
is God, the King, the Help in Peril, the Self Subsisting. Exalted is God, the Ordainer,
the Creator, the Most Powerful, the Mighty, the Well Beloved.
43. Nevertheless, O Concourse of the Bayán! Strive diligently with thy spirits and
thy souls that ye may enter within this station, and be not like those who, not one
single Name amongst the divine Names shall ever apply unto them, nor shall they
ever be characterized by these divine Attributes. Be not like those who see not with
their own eyes, hear not with their own ears, or understand not with their own
hearts.
