"... this priceless gem of Divine Revelation, now still
in its embryonic state, shall evolve within the shell of His law, and shall
forge ahead, undivided and unimpaired, till it embraces the whole of mankind.
Only those who have already recognized the supreme station of Bahá’u’lláh, only
those whose hearts have been touched by His love, and have become familiar with
the potency of His spirit, can adequately appreciate the value of this Divine
Economy—His inestimable gift to mankind.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated
21 March 1930, published in ‘The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
