That Bahá’u’lláh should, notwithstanding the overwhelming
intensity of His Revelation, be regarded as essentially one of these
Manifestations of God, never to be identified with that invisible Reality, the
Essence of Divinity itself, is one of the major beliefs of our Faith—a belief
which should never be obscured and the integrity of which no one of its
followers should allow to be compromised.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a message dated
8 February 1934, printed as ‘The Dispensation of Baha'u'llah’ in ‘The World
Order of Baha'u'llah’)
