Bahá'u'lláh wrote voluminously about the purpose of this
mysterious force and its transformative effects, but the essence can be drawn
from these few perspicuous words: "Through the movement of Our Pen of
Glory We have, at the bidding of the Omnipotent Ordainer, breathed a new life
into every human frame, and instilled into every word a fresh potency. All
created things proclaim the evidences of this worldwide regeneration." And
again: "A new life is, in this age, stirring within all the peoples of the
earth; and yet none hath discovered its cause or perceived its motive."
And yet again: "He Who is the Unconditioned is come, in the clouds of
light, that He may quicken all created things with the breezes of His Name, the
Most Merciful, and unify the world, and gather all men around this Table which
hath been sent down from heaven."
