I am the Mystic Fane which the Hand of Omnipotence hath
reared. I am the Lamp which the Finger of God hath lit within its niche and
caused to shine with deathless splendour. I am the Flame of that supernal Light
that glowed upon Sinai in the gladsome Spot, and lay concealed in the midst of
the Burning Bush.
(The Báb, excerpt from Qayyum’ul-Asma; ‘Selections from the
Writings of the Báb)
