Baha'is
agree with the scientist that we cannot fully understand this
" superior reasoning
power
" with our limited human minds. This is why our concepts of God has changed,
and will
continue
to change.
,
Though
our knowledge of God is limited, His love for us has never failed. Baha'u'llah
says God has communicated this love in every age through a Man Whom
He has chosen to be His Mouthpiece on earth. The
Messenger of God among us conveys,
in terms which we
can
understand - through His life and teachings - the boundless love
of God for
His
creation. He comes at a time when we need Him most, though we in our
ignorance
are seldom aware of our need; and He is prepared to suffer the
indignities
we heap upon Him in return for the love He showers on us
and
the guidance He freely gives for our happiness. if we recognize
this
Messenger of God, Baha'u'llah
says we have recognized the
One
Who speaks through Him:
..
"The
door of the
knowledge of the Ancient Being hath ever been, and will continue for
ever to be, closed in the face of men. No man's understanding shall
ever gain access unto His
holy
court. As a token of His mercy, however, and as a proof of His loving kindness,
He
hath manifested unto
men the Day Stars of His divine guidance, the Symbols
of
His divine unity, and hath ordained the knowledge
of these sanctified
Beings
to be identical with the knowledge of
His own Self. Whoso
recognizeth
them hath recognized God. Whoso hearkeneth to
their
call, hath hearkened to the Voice of God.... "
