The Holy Spirit it is which, through the mediation of the
Prophets of God, teaches spiritual virtues to man and enables him to attain
Eternal Life...the Holy Spirit is the Intermediary between the Creator and the
created. The light and heat of the sun cause the earth to be fruitful, and
create life in all things that grow; and the Holy Spirit quickens the souls of
men.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a talk, 31 October 1911, Paris, France; ‘Paris Talks’)
