…viewed from the standpoint of their oneness and sublime
detachment, the attributes of Godhead, Divinity, Supreme Singleness, and Inmost
Essence, have been, and are applicable to those Essences of Being, inasmuch as
they all abide on the throne of Divine Revelation, and are established upon the
seat of Divine Concealment. Through their appearance the Revelation of God is
made manifest, and by their countenance the Beauty of God is revealed. Thus it
is that the accents of God Himself have been heard uttered by these
Manifestations of the Divine Being.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings
of Baha’u’llah’)
