To each created thing, the Ancient Sovereignty hath
portioned out its own perfection, its particular virtue and special excellence,
so that each in its degree may become a symbol denoting the sublimity of the
true Educator of humankind, and that each, even as a crystalline mirror, may
tell of the grace and splendour of the Sun of Truth.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a
Tablet; The Compilation of Compilations, vol. I, Baha’i Education)
