Addressing Siyyid Yahyáy-i-Darábí surnamed Vahíd, the most learned,
the most eloquent and influential among His followers, the Báb utters this
warning: “By the righteousness of Him Whose power causeth the seed to germinate
and Who breatheth the spirit of life into all things, were I to be assured that
in the day of His manifestation thou wilt deny Him, I would unhesitatingly
disown thee and repudiate thy faith.… If, on the other hand, I be told that a
Christian, who beareth no allegiance to My Faith, will believe in Him, the same
will I regard as the apple of Mine Eye.” - Shoghi Effendi (‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’
included in ‘The World Order of Baha’u’llah’)
