A thousand perusals of the Bayán cannot equal the perusal of
a single verse to be revealed by ‘Him Whom God shall make manifest.’... Today
the Bayán is in the stage of seed; at the beginning of the manifestation of
‘Him Whom God shall make manifest’ its ultimate perfection will become
apparent.... The Bayán and such as are believers therein yearn more ardently
after Him than the yearning of any lover after his beloved....
- The Báb (Quoted
by Shoghi Effendi in a letter dated February 8, 1934; ‘The
Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
