This is the foundation of the belief of the people of Bahá
(may my life be offered up for them): "His Holiness, the Exalted One (the
Báb), is the Manifestation of the Unity and Oneness of God and the Forerunner
of the Ancient Beauty. His Holiness the Abhá Beauty (may my life be a sacrifice
for His steadfast friends) is the Supreme Manifestation of God and the
Dayspring of His Most Divine Essence. All others are servants unto Him and do His
bidding." Unto the Most Holy Book every one must turn, and all that is not
expressly recorded therein must be referred to the Universal House of Justice.
