…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.
