BAHA'U'LLAH WRITES:-
The Revelation which, from time immemorial, hath been acclaimed as the Purpose and Promise of all the Prophets of God, and the most cherished Desire of His Messengers, hath now, by virtue of the pervasive Will of the Almighty and at His irresistible bidding, been revealed unto men. The advent of such a Revelation hath been heralded in all the sacred Scriptures. Behold how, notwithstanding such an announcement, mankind hath strayed from its path and shut out itself from its glory. Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 5 (100:4)

I sorrow not for the burden of My imprisonment. Neither do I grieve over My abasement, or the tribulation I suffer at the hands of Mine enemies. By my life! They are My glory, a glory wherewith God hath adorned His own Self. Would that ye know it! (100:5)

The shame I was made to bear hath uncovered the glory with which the whole of creation had been invested, and through cruelties I have endured, the Day Star of Justice hath manifested itself and shed its splendor upon men. Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 100 (100:6)

Say: Tribulation is a horizon unto My Revelation. The day star of grace shineth above it, and sheddeth a light which neither the clouds of men's idle fancy nor the vain imaginations of the aggressor can obscure. Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, p. 42 (100:7)
