The Báb, the Exalted One, is the Morn of Truth,
the splendour of Whose light shineth through all regions. He is also the
Harbinger of the Most Great Light, the Abha Luminary. The Blessed Beauty is the
One promised by the sacred books of the past, the revelation of the Source of
light that shone upon Mount Sinai, Whose fire glowed in the midst of the
Burning Bush. We are, one and all, servants of Their threshold, and stand each
as a lowly keeper at Their door.
- ‘Adu’l-Baha (Quoted by the Universal House of
Justice in a letter dated 8 March 1965; ‘Messages from the Universal House of
Justice 1963-1986’)
