…from the very beginning of the Revelation of the Báb, the
believers were humble and lowly before Bahá’u’lláh, looked to Him for guidance,
and were drawn to Him with a heartfelt attraction. But at Badasht the greatness and majesty of
Bahá’u’lláh were manifested to a further degree. There, a number of believers developed a
particular devotion and became wholly attracted to Him. Whoever met Him and heard His words would be
transformed and enthralled, and could do naught but surrender his will and
become aflame with the fire of the love of God.
