Concerning
the Manifestations that will come down in the future ‘in the shadows of the clouds,’
know verily that in so far as their relation to the source of their inspiration
is concerned they are under the shadow of the Ancient Beauty. In their
relation, however, to the age in which they appear, each and every one of them
‘doeth whatsoever He willeth.’
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (Quoted by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated February 8, 1934; ‘The
Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
