Having barred the way that leadeth unto Thee, [God] Thou hast, by
virtue of Thine authority and through the potency of Thy will, called into
being Them Who are the Manifestations of Thy Self, and hast entrusted Them with
Thy message unto Thy people, and caused Them to become the Day-Springs of Thine
inspiration, the Exponents of Thy Revelation, the Treasuries of Thy Knowledge
and the Repositories of Thy Faith, that all men may, through Them, turn their
faces towards Thee, and may draw nigh unto the kingdom of Thy Revelation and
the heaven of Thy grace.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and meditations by
Baha’u’llah’)
