“This is the King of Days,” He thus extols the age that has
witnessed the advent of His Revelation, “the Day that hath seen the coming of
the Best-beloved, Him Who through all eternity hath been acclaimed the Desire
of the World.” “The world of being shineth in this Day with the resplendency of
this Divine Revelation. All created things extol its saving grace and sing its
praises. The universe is wrapt in an ecstasy of joy and gladness. The
Scriptures of past Dispensations celebrate the great jubilee that must needs
greet this most great Day of God. Well is it with him that hath lived to see
this Day and hath recognized its station.” “Were mankind to give heed in a
befitting manner to no more than one word of such a praise it would be so
filled with delight as to be overpowered and lost in wonder. Entranced, it
would then shine forth resplendent above the horizon of true understanding.” - Shoghi Effendi (‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah; included in ‘The World Order of
Baha’u’llah’)
