"  The door of knowledge of the Ancient Being hath ever been, and will continue
             forever 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 .  whose   recognizeth  them   hath  recognized  God .  Whose
             hearkeneth  to  their call, hath  hearkened to  the  voice  of  God,  and  whoso
             testifieth  to  the  truth  of  their  Revelation, hath testified  to  the  truth of God
             Himself . Whoso disbelieveth  in  them, hath  disbeliveth in God. Every one of
             them is the Way of God, connecteth this world with the realms above, and the
             Standard of His Truth unto every one in the kingdoms  of  earth  and  heaven.
             They are the Manifestations  of  God  amidst men, the evidences of His Truth,
             and the signs of His Glory. "
