As to Násiri’d-Dín Sháh, the Lawḥ-i-Sulṭán, despatched to him from Akká and constituting Bahá’u’lláh’s lengthiest Epistle to any single sovereign, proclaims: “O King! I was but a man like others, asleep upon My couch, when lo, the breezes of the All-Glorious were wafted over Me, and taught Me the knowledge of all that hath been. This thing is not from Me, but from One Who is Almighty and All-Knowing. And He bade Me lift up My voice between earth and heaven, and for this there befell Me what hath caused the tears of every man of understanding to flow.”
- Shoghi Effendi (Quoting Bahá’u’lláh in ‘The Promised Day Is Come’)
