Source (Arabic)
و کذلک دون آن از کلّ ما یجری علیه الأسمآء و الصّفات که در هیکل انسانی موجود و مشهود است و جمیع این اسماء مختلفه و صفات ظاهره از این آیهٴ احدیّه ظاهر و مشهود ولکن او بنفسها و جوهریّتها مقدّس از کلّ این اسماء و صفات بوده بلکه دون آن در ساحت او معدوم صرف و مفقود بحت است
Shoghi Effendi Translation
This same relationship bindeth this faculty with whatsoever hath been the recipient of these names and attributes within the human temple. These diverse names and revealed attributes have been generated through the agency of this sign of God. Immeasurably exalted is this sign, in its essence and reality, above all such names and attributes. Nay, all else besides it will, when compared with its glory, fade into utter nothingness and become a thing forgotten.
