He [Baha’u’llah]—glorified be His mention—resembleth the
sun. Were unnumbered mirrors to be placed before it, each would, according to
its capacity, reflect the splendor of that sun, and were none to be placed
before it, it would still continue to rise and set, and the mirrors alone would
be veiled from its light.
- The Báb (Quoted by Baha’u’llah in ‘The Epistle to
the Son of the Wolf’)
