It is because of this difference in their [Manifestations of
God] station and mission [with respect to “the world of creation”] that the
words and utterances flowing from these Well-springs of divine knowledge appear
to diverge and differ. Otherwise, in the eyes of them that are initiated into
the mysteries of divine wisdom, all their utterances are in reality but the
expressions of one Truth. As most of the people have failed to appreciate those
stations to which We have referred, they therefore feel perplexed and dismayed
at the varying utterances pronounced by Manifestations that are essentially one
and the same.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Iqan’)
