Say, He Whom God shall make manifest is indeed the Primal
Veil of God. Above this Veil ye can find nothing other than God, while beneath
it ye can discern all things emanating from God. He is the Unseen, the
Inaccessible, the Most Exalted, the Best-Beloved.
If ye seek God, it behooveth you to seek Him Whom God shall
make manifest, and if ye cherish the desire to dwell in the Ark of Names, ye
will be distinguished as the guides to Him Whom God shall make manifest, did ye
but believe in Him. Verily then make your hearts the daysprings of His exalted
Names as recorded in the Book, and ye shall, even as mirrors placed before the
sun, be able to receive enlightenment.

of Names]; ‘Selections from the Writings of the Báb’)
