God is immeasurably glorified and exalted above our understanding

    Insights from this prayer by the Báb
  • The loftiest station” to which our human “perception can soar” and “the utmost height which the minds and souls of men can scale are but signs created through the potency” of God’s “command and tokens manifested through the power” of His “Revelation”.
  • The glory of God is so far beyond our reach that no one other than God can truly “make mention” of Himself or attempt to “voice” God’s “praise”.
  • The “very essence of every reality beareth witness to its debarment from the precincts of the court” of God’s “nearness”.
  • The “quintessence of every being testifieth to its failure to attain” God’s “holy Presence”
  • The only thing that befit God is “the befitting mention made by Thine Own Self, and that only which is worthy of Thee is the anthem of praise voiced by Thine Own Essence..”
  • Revelation and Creation are two of the kingdoms of God.
