For if God, glorified be His Name, should today speak a word
that all people have spoken heretofore and shall speak hereafter, that word
would still be new, were ye to reflect upon it. Consider the term “Divine
Unity”, which the Manifestations of God have uttered in every Dispensation, a
goodly term which all the divers peoples and kindreds of the world have spoken.
Nevertheless, in each Dispensation, it hath been made new and hath in no wise
been divested of its novel character. Into every word that God doth speak a new
spirit is breathed, and the breezes of life are wafted therefrom upon all
things both outwardly and inwardly. - Baha’u’llah (‘Additional Tablets and
Extracts from Tablets Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh’; Baha’i Reference Library of the
Baha’i World Center, May 2021)
