Verily, He [the Báb] revealed certain laws so that, in this
Dispensation, the Pen of the Most High might have no need to move in aught but
the glorification of His own transcendent Station and His most effulgent
Beauty. Since, however, We have wished to evidence Our bounty unto you, We
have, through the power of truth, set forth these laws with clarity and
mitigated what We desire you to observe. He, verily, is the Munificent, the
Generous.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
