…in the kingdoms of earth and heaven there must needs be
manifested a Being, an Essence Who shall act as a Manifestation and Vehicle for
the transmission of the grace of the Divinity Itself, the Sovereign Lord of
all. Through the Teachings of this Day Star of Truth every man will advance and
develop until he attaineth the station at which he can manifest all the
potential forces with which his inmost true self hath been endowed. It is for
this very purpose that in every age and dispensation the Prophets of God and
His chosen Ones have appeared amongst men, and have evinced such power as is
born of God and such might as only the Eternal can reveal.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha’u’llah’)
