Things that but a few years ago seemed impossible dreams are now accomplished facts.

Others that seemed centuries ahead of us have already become matters of "practical politics." We fly in the air and make voyages under the sea.

We send messages around the world with the speed of lightning.

Within a few decades we have seen miracles too numerous to mention.
The Sun of Righteousness What is the cause of this sudden awakening throughout the world?
Baha'is believe that it is due to a great outpouring of the Holy Spirit through the Prophet Baha'u'llah, Who was born in Persia in 1817 and passed away in the Holy Land in 1892.
Baha'u'llah taught that the Prophet, or "Manifestation of God," is the Light-bringer of the spiritual world, as the sun is the light-bringer of the natural world.

Just as the material sun shines over the earth and causes the growth and development of material organisms, so also, through the Divine Manifestation, the Sun of Truth shines upon the world of heart and soul, and educates the thoughts, morals and characters of men.
