We find God only through the Intermediary of His Prophet. We
see the Perfection of God in His Prophets. Time and space are physical things;
God, the Creator, is not in a “place” as we conceive of place in physical
terms. God is the Infinite Essence, the Creator. We cannot picture Him or His
state; if we did, we would be His equals, not His creatures. God is never
flesh, but mirrored in the attributes of His Prophets, we see His Divine
characteristics and perfections. - Shoghi Effendi (From a letter dated 9 October 1947, written
on behalf of Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; compilation ‘Some
Extracts from the Baha’i Writings on the Nature of God’, prepared by the
Research Department of the Universal House of Justice, February 23, 1992)
