I am the Primal Point from which have
been generated all created things. I am the Countenance of God Whose splendour
can never be obscured, the Light of God Whose radiance can never fade. Whoso
recognizeth Me, assurance and all good are in store for him, and whoso faileth
to recognize Me, infernal fire and all evil await him...
- The Báb (From an Epistle to
Muhammad Shah, ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb)
