You are all welcome. This is a goodly assemblage. Praise be to God! The hearts are directed to the Kingdom of Abha, and souls are rejoiced by the glad tidings of God. (453:4) I will speak to you concerning the special teachings of Baha'u'llah. All the divine principles announced by the tongue of the Prophets of the past are to be found in the words of Baha'u'llah; but in addition to these He has revealed certain new teachings which are not found in any of the sacred Books of former times. I shall mention some of them; the others, which are many in number, may be found in the Books, Tablets and Epistles written by Baha'u'llah-- such as the Hidden Words, the Glad Tidings, the Words of Paradise, Tajalliyat, Tarazat and others. Likewise, in the Kitab- i- Aqdas there are new teachings which cannot be found in any of the past Books or Epistles of the Prophets.
(453:5)
