O Company of God! To each created thing, the Ancient
Sovereignty hath portioned out its own perfection, its particular virtue and
special excellence, so that each in its degree may become a symbol denoting the
sublimity of the true Educator of humankind, and that each, even as a
crystalline mirror, may tell of the grace and splendour of the Sun of Truth.
(‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Baha’i
Education)
