I am one of the sustaining
pillars of the Primal Word of God. Whosoever hath recognized Me, hath known all
that is true and right, and hath attained all that is good and seemly; and
whosoever hath failed to recognize Me, hath turned away from all that is true
and right and hath succumbed to everything evil and unseemly.
- The Báb (From an Epistle to Muhammad Shah, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
