As Moses and Jesus brought their Message to the people, so
Bahá’u’lláh brings the same Message.
Each time God sends a Great One to us we are given new life,
but the Truth each Manifestation brings is the same. The Truth never changes
but man’s vision changes. It is dulled and confused by the complication of
outward forms.
The Truth is easy to understand although the outward forms
in which it is expressed bewilder the intelligence. As men grow they see the
futility of man-made forms and despise them. Therefore many leave the churches,
because the latter often emphasize the external only.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Notes of
conversations; ‘Abdu’l-Baha in London’)
