Behold how immediately upon the completion of the
ninth year of this wondrous, this most holy and merciful Dispensation [the Báb’s] ,
the requisite number of pure, of wholly consecrated and sanctified souls had been
most secretly consummated.
- Baha’u’llah (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The World
Order of Baha’u’llah’)
