Just as the material sun shines over the earth and causes
the growth and development of material organisms, so also, through the Divine
Manifestation, the Sun of Truth shines upon the world of heart and soul, and
educates the thoughts, morals and characters of men. And just as the rays of
the natural sun have an influence which penetrates into the darkest and
shadiest corners of the world, giving warmth and life even to creatures that
have never seen the sun itself, so also, the outpouring of the Holy Spirit
through the Manifestation of God influences the lives of all, and inspires
receptive minds even in places and among peoples where the name of the Prophet
is quite unknown. (‘Baha’u’llah and the New Era)
