…He [the Báb] saith: “The year-old germ that holdeth within
itself the potentialities of the Revelation that is to come is endowed with a
potency superior to the combined forces of the whole of the Bayán.” These
glad-tidings of the Bayán and of the Books of former times have been repeatedly
mentioned under divers names in numerous books, that perchance men might judge
equitably that which hath arisen and shone forth above the horizon of the will
of God, the Lord of the Mighty Throne.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the
Wolf’)
