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.
