Every
man of perception who hath scaled the noble heights of detachment, and
every man of eloquence who hath attained the most sublime station,
beareth witness that Thou art God, the Incomparable, and that Thou hast
assigned no associate unto Thyself in the kingdom of creation, nor is
there anyone to compare with Thee in the realm of invention. Men of
wisdom, who had but a notion of the revelation of Thy glory, conceived a
likeness of Thee according to their own understanding, and men of
erudition, who had gained but a glimpse of the manifold evidences of Thy
loving-kindness and glory, have contrived peers for Thee in conformity
with their own imaginations.
