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 Dayspring of the signs, and the Dawning-Place of the clear tokens,
and the Manifestation of the Excellent Names, and the Source of the attributes,
of the true God, exalted be His glory. God in His Essence and in His own Self
hath ever been unseen, inaccessible, and unknowable. By Presence, therefore, is
meant the Presence of the One Who is His Vicegerent amongst men. He, moreover,
hath never had, nor hath He, any peer or likeness. For were He to have any peer
or likeness, how could it then be demonstrated that His being is exalted above,
and His essence sanctified from, all comparison and likeness? (Baha’u’llah, ‘Epistle to the Son of the
Wolf’)
