The door of the knowledge of the Ancient of Days being thus
closed in the face of all beings, the Source of infinite grace, according to
His saying, “His grace hath transcended all things; My grace hath encompassed
them all,” 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.
(Baha’u’llah,
‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
