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 (Extract from an Epistle to Muhammad Shah, ‘Selections from the
Writings of the Báb)
