re: Quote about recognition
There is this passage from Advent of Divive Justice which may slightly allude
to your question:
For no matter how ignorant of the Source from which those directing energies
proceed, and however slow and laborious the process, it is becoming
increasingly 87 evident that the nation as a whole, whether through the
agency of its government or otherwise, is gravitating, under the influence of
forces that it can neither comprehend nor control, towards such associations
and policies, wherein, as indicated by 'Abdu'l-Bahá, her true destiny must lie.
Both the community of the American believers, who are aware of that Source, and
the great mass of their countrymen, who have not as yet recognized the Hand
that directs their destiny, are contributing, each in its own way, to the
realization of the hopes, and the fulfillment of the promises, voiced in the
above-quoted words of 'Abdu'l-Bahá.
(Shoghi Effendi, The Advent of Divine Justice, p. 86)

Subject: re: Quote about recognition
Is it this line from the Lawh-i-Aqdas?
"Verily, We behold all created things moved to bear witness unto Us. Some
know Us and bear witness, while the majority bear witness, yet know Us
not."
Peace,
Simeon
Simeon, that exactly states the principle I am thinking of, thank you; and I
hadn't connected it. However, it isn't the quote I'm thinking of, which as
I recall comes from the Master.
Thank you

Quote about recognition
I am looking for a passage in the Writings -- I believe it is in one of the
Tablets or addresses of the Master; I thought it was in Some Answered
Questions but I can't find it there. It says something along the lines of
some people are under the sway of the Revelation and know it; and some are
under the sway of the Revelation and don't know it. Something like explicit
and implicit recognition.
It expresses this same principle, in different words:
"In such manner hath the Kitáb-i-Aqdas been revealed that it attracteth and
embraceth all the divinely appointed Dispensations. Blessed those who peruse
it. Blessed those who apprehend it. Blessed those who meditate upon it.
Blessed those who ponder its meaning. So vast is its range that it hath
encompassed all men ere their recognition of it." (Tablets of Baha'u'llah,
p. 200)
Thanks
Brent
