His Holiness, the Exalted One (the Báb), is the
Manifestation of the Unity and Oneness of God and the Forerunner of the Ancient
Beauty. His Holiness the Abhá Beauty (may my life be a sacrifice for His
steadfast friends) is the Supreme Manifestation of God and the Dayspring of His
Most Divine Essence. All others are servants unto Him and do His bidding. (‘Abdu’l-Baha,
‘The Will and Testament of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
