"Thus it hath been made clear that these stages depend on the vision of the
wayfarer. In every city he will behold a world, in every Valley reach a
spring, in every meadow hear a song. But the falcon of the mystic heaven
hath many a wondrous carol of the spirit in His breast, and the Persian bird
keepeth in His soul many a sweet Arab melody; yet these are hidden, and
hidden shall remain."
(Baha'u'llah, The Seven Valleys, p. 28)
"I am the Sun of Wisdom and the Ocean of Knowledge. I cheer the faint and
revive the dead. I am the guiding Light that illumineth the way. I am the
royal Falcon on the arm of the Almighty. I unfold the drooping wings of
every broken bird and start it on its flight."
(Baha'u'llah, Tablets of Baha'u'llah, p. 169)
Baha'u'llah describes Himself as a very remarkable falcon. It sings; and it
doesn't catch birds and rip them apart, it helps the weak birds and
encourages them to fly.
