How many of the Pharisees were waiting for the appearance of
the Spirit (i.e., Jesus) then were veiled from it. But ye have taken away the
veil and were guided unto the light, have given up imitating forefathers and
directed your eyes to the Sun of Truth, which is shining in the Supreme
Horizon. This is a favor to you on the part of your Lord, and a gift for you.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1)
