From this same God all creation sprang into existence, and
He is the one goal, towards which everything in nature yearns. This conception
was embodied in the words of Christ, when He said, ‘I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the beginning and the end’. Man is the sum of Creation, and the Perfect
Man is the expression of the complete thought of the Creator—the Word of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, October 28, 1911,
Paris; ‘Paris Talks’)
