…likewise, He [The Báb] saith: “The Bayán is from beginning
to end the repository of all of His [Baha’u’llah’s] attributes, and the
treasury of both His fire and His light.” Great God! The soul is carried away
by the fragrance of this utterance, inasmuch as He declareth, with infinite
sadness, that which He perceiveth. Likewise, He saith to the Letter of the
Living, Mullá Báqir—upon him be the glory of God and His loving-kindness:
“Haply thou mayest in eight years, in the day of His Revelation, attain unto
His Presence.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
