We cannot know God directly, but only through His Prophets.
We can pray to Him, realizing that through His Prophets we know Him, or we can
address our prayer in thought to Bahá'u'lláh, not as God but as the Door to our
knowing God.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an
individual believer, October 9, 1947; compilation: ‘Lights of Guidance’)
