“And when the appointed hour hath struck,” He [the Báb]
again addresses Bahá’u’lláh in that same commentary, [the Qayyúmu’l-Asmá] “do
Thou, by the leave of God, the All-Wise, reveal from the heights of the Most
Lofty and Mystic Mount a faint, an infinitesimal glimmer of Thy impenetrable
Mystery, that they who have recognized the radiance of the Sinaic Splendor may
faint away and die as they catch a lightening glimpse of the fierce and crimson
Light that envelops Thy Revelation.”
- 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’)
