The world of existence came into being through
the heat generated from the interaction between the active force and that which
is its recipient. These two are the same, yet they are different. Thus doth the
Great Announcement inform thee about this glorious structure. Such as
communicate the generating influence and such as receive its impact are indeed
created through the irresistible Word of God which is the Cause of the entire
creation, while all else besides His Word are but the creatures and the effects
thereof. Verily thy Lord is the Expounder, the All-Wise.
- Baha'u'llah (‘Tablets
of Baha'u'llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
