The Sun of Truth is the Word of God, upon which dependeth
the education of those who are endowed with the power of understanding and of
utterance. It is the true spirit and the heavenly water, through whose aid and
gracious providence all things have been and will be quickened. Its appearance
in every mirror is conditioned by the colour of that mirror. For instance, when
its light is cast upon the mirrors of the hearts of the wise, it bringeth forth
wisdom. In like manner, when it manifesteth itself in the mirrors of the hearts
of craftsmen, it unfoldeth new and unique arts, and when reflected in the
hearts of those that apprehend the truth, it revealeth wondrous tokens of true
knowledge and discloseth the verities of God’s utterance. - Baha’u’llah (‘Additional Tablets and Extracts from Tablets Revealed by Bahá’u’lláh’; Baha’i
