"The more an interpreter has some conscious or intuitive knowledge of
God, the more he or she can see Scripture with the eye of God. Before
looking at specific examples of interpretation in Bah=C3=A1'u'll=C3=A1h's
ow=
n
writings, it may be helpful to state what is understood in this paper
by attributes of God.
Bah=C3=A1'u'll=C3=A1h explains that God is exalted beyond 'every human
attribute, such as cor****eal existence, ascent and descent, egress and
regress', above 'all separation and union, all proximity and
remoteness'...These statements suggest that the reality of God is
essentially incommunicable. We cannot know or accurately imagine God's
true reality in its complete essence apart from the realization that
He is entirely outside the limitations of cor****eal existence, that
is, the plane of time and space (created existence). However, through
the primal act of creation, God has provided a channel by which human
beings can attain knowledge of what can be most appropriately
attributed to His nature: hence, the attributes of God."
