Alone pg. 53-57
“Oceans of sadness have surged over Me, a drop of which no soul could bear to drink. Such is My grief that My soul hath well nigh departed from My body… Give ear, O Kamal! to the voice of this lowly, this forsaken ant, that hath hid itself in its hole, and whose desire is to depart from your midst, and vanish from your sight, by reason of that which the hands of men have wrought. God, verily, hath been witness between Me and His servants… Woe is Me, woe is Me!… All that I have seen from the day on which I first drank the pure milk from the breast of My mother until this moment hath been effaced from My memory, in consequence of that which the hands of the people have committed.”
-Baha’u’llah
This was part of the Tablet Kullu’t-Ta’am, which Baha’u’llah revealed before his trip to the mountains where he remained for two long years. He stayed there to avoid the Covenant Breakers and did not want the believers to look at him with confusion. He had to wait, which was obviously extremely painful for him, but this was the only way, in His wisdom, to subdue the wrath of betrayal. I cannot image, or pretend to understand the sufferings of Baha’u’llah, and the sacrifices he made for the Cause of God.
