immersed beneath the oceans of ancient and everlasting holiness, or when they
soared to the loftiest summits of Divine mysteries, they claimed their
utterances to be the Voice of Divinity, the Call of God Himself.
(Baha’u’llah,
‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
[1] “...the all-embracing Manifestations of God”
