The door of the
knowledge of the Ancient of Days being thus closed in the face of all beings,
He, the Source of infinite grace ... hath caused those luminous Gems of
Holiness to appear out of the realm of the spirit, in the noble form of the
human temple, and be made manifest unto all men, that they may impart unto the
world the mysteries of the unchangeable Being and tell of the subtleties of His
imperishable Essence... All the Prophets of God, His well-favored, His holy and
chosen Messengers are, without exception, the bearers of His names and the
embodiments of His attributes... These Tabernacles of Holiness, these primal
Mirrors which reflect the Light of unfading glory, are but expressions of Him
Who is the Invisible of the Invisibles. (Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi
in ‘The World Order of Baha'u'llah’)
