"Dost thou reckon thyself only a puny form, when within thee the universe is folded?"
"All these states are to be witnessed in the Valley of Wonderment, and the traveler at every moment seeketh for more, and is not wearied. Thus the Lord of the First and the Last in setting forth the grades of contemplation, and expressing wonderment hath said: “O Lord, increase my astonishment at Thee!”
Likewise, reflect upon the perfection of man’s creation, and that all these planes and states are folded up and hidden away within him.
Dost thou reckon thyself only a puny form
When within thee the universe is folded? 2
Then we must labor to destroy the animal condition, till the meaning of humanity shall come to light."
-Bahá'u'lláh, The Seven Valleys And the Four Valleys, Valley of Wonderment, pp. 33-34
2.‘Alí.
