"He Who is everlastingly hidden from the eyes of men can never be known except through His Manifestations." (Bwf 21) (26:6)

"Were They to say, 'We are the Servants of God,' this... is a manifest and indisputable fact... In this state, They have considered Themselves utterly effaced and non- existent in the face of Him Who is the All- Pervading, the Incorruptible... They have regarded Themselves as utter nothingness, and deemed Their mention in that Court an act of blasphemy." (Bwf 24- 5) (26:7)

"Their word is the word of God, Their commandment is the commandment of God, Their prohibition is the prohibition of God... Their movement and repose come from divine inspiration, not from human passions." (Saq 193) (26:8)

"In all the Divine Books the promise of the Divine Presence hath been explicitly recorded. By this Presence is meant the Presence of Him Who is... the Manifestation of... God... God in His Essence and in His own Self hath ever been unseen, inaccessible, and unknowable. By Presence, therefore, is meant Presence of the One Who is His Vicegerent." (Esw 118) (26:9)

"The Lord Christ said, 'He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father'-- God manifested in man." (Pt 26) (26:10)
