… man is unable to comprehend that which hath streamed forth
from the Pen of Glory and is recorded in His heavenly Books. Men at all times
and under all conditions stand in need of one to exhort them, guide them and to
instruct and teach them. Therefore He hath sent forth His Messengers, His
Prophets and chosen ones that they might acquaint the people with the divine
purpose underlying the revelation of Books and the raising up of Messengers,
and that everyone may become aware of the trust of God which is latent in the
reality of every soul.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
