The Cause of
Bahá'u'lláh is the same as the Cause of Christ. It is the same Temple and the
same Foundation. Both of these are Spiritual Springs, the seasons of the
soul-refreshing awakening and the cause of the renovation of the life of
mankind. The spring of this year is the same as the spring of last year. The
origin and end are the same. The sun of today is the sun of yesterday. In the
coming of Christ, the divine teachings were given in accordance with the
infancy of the human race. The teachings of Bahá'u'lláh have the same basic
principles, but are according to the stage of the maturity of the world and the
requirements of this illumined age
