Led by the light of unfailing guidance, and invested with
supreme sovereignty, They [Manifestations of God] are commissioned to use the
inspiration of Their words, the effusions of Their infallible grace and the
sanctifying breeze of Their Revelation for the cleansing of every longing heart
and receptive spirit from the dross and dust of earthly cares and limitations.
Then, and only then, will the Trust of God, latent in the reality of man,
emerge, as resplendent as the rising Orb of Divine Revelation, from behind the
veil of concealment, and implant the ensign of its revealed glory upon the
summits of men’s hearts.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
