Thou hast written concerning spiritual hearing and insight.
The insight (or inner perception) is a correct sight, for it never blundereth.
But the outward sight doth err (or misjudgeth); it seeth the mirage as water,
considereth the revolving flame as a circle, imagineth the images reflected in
a mirror as a reality and judgeth huge bodies as small ones, from a remote
distance. There are many evidences as to the blundering of the sight; but the
insight apprehendeth the reality and discovereth the mysteries.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha ('Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1')
