For, just as in the realm
of the spirit, the reality of the Báb has been hailed by the Author of the
Bahá’í Revelation as “The Point round Whom the realities of the Prophets and
Messengers revolve,” so, on this visible plane, His sacred remains constitute
the heart and center of what may be regarded as nine concentric circles,
paralleling thereby, and adding further emphasis to the central position
accorded by the Founder of our Faith to One “from Whom God hath caused to
proceed the knowledge of all that was and shall be,” “the Primal Point from which
have been generated all created things.”
(Shoghi Effendi, from a letter
dated March 29, 1951; ‘Citadel of Faith’)
