Baha’u’llah and the New Era

CHAPTER 3: BAHA'U'LLAH: THE GLORY OF GOD
50/56

Sometimes it is evidently the man who is discoursing, then without a break the writing continues as if God were speaking in the first person.

Even when speaking as a man, however, Baha'u'llah speaks as God's messenger, as a living example of entire devotion to God's will.

His whole life is actuated by the Holy Spirit.
Hence no hard and fast line can be drawn between the human and divine elements in His life or teachings.

God tells Him:-- Say: "Naught is seen in my temple but the Temple of God, and in my beauty but His Beauty, and in my being but His Being, and in myself but Himself, and in my movement but His Movement, and in my acquiescence but His Acquiescence, and in my pen but His Pen, the Precious, the Extolled." Say: "There hath not been in my soul but the Truth, and in myself naught could be seen but God."-- Suratu'l-Haykal.
His Mission Baha'u'llah's mission in the world is to bring about Unity--Unity of all mankind in and through God.

He says:--"Of the Tree of Knowledge the All-glorious fruit is this exalted word: Of one Tree are all ye the fruits and of one Bough the leaves.
