Beware, O believers in the Unity of God, lest ye be tempted
to make any distinction between any of the Manifestations of His Cause, or to
discriminate against the signs that have accompanied and proclaimed their
Revelation. This indeed is the true meaning of Divine Unity, if ye be of them
that apprehend and believe this truth. Be ye assured, moreover, that the works
and acts of each and every one of these Manifestations of God, nay whatever
pertaineth unto them, and whatsoever they may manifest in the future, are all
ordained by God, and are a reflection of His Will and Purpose. Whoso maketh the
slightest possible difference between their persons, their words, their
messages, their acts and manners, hath indeed disbelieved in God, hath
repudiated His signs, and betrayed the Cause of His Messengers.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
