Source (Arabic)
توحید بدیع مقدّس از تحدید و عرفان موجودات ساحت عزّ حضرت لا یزالی را لایق و سزا است که لم یزل و لا یزال در مکمن قدس اجلال خود بوده و فی ازل الآزال در مقعد و مقرّ استقلال خود و استجلال خود خواهد بود چه قدر غنی و مستغنی بوده ذات منزّهش از عرفان ممکنات و چه مقدار عالی و متعالی خواهد بود از ذکر سکّان
Shoghi Effendi Translation
How wondrous is the unity of the Living, the Ever-Abiding God — a unity which is exalted above all limitations, that transcendeth the comprehension of all created things! He hath, from everlasting, dwelt in His inaccessible habitation of holiness and glory, and will unto everlasting continue to be enthroned upon the heights of His independent sovereignty and grandeur. How lofty hath been His incorruptible Essence, how completely independent of the knowledge of all created things, and how immensely exalted will it remain above the praise of all the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth!
