Upon the horizon of eternal Glory two luminous stars have
arisen in brilliance: one to the right and one to the left ... this is the
mystery of the appearance of the Beauty of Abha and of the Supreme Highness
(the Báb). And though these two diagrams at the right and the left have form of
stars, they also represent the body of man, with the head, the two arms and two
legs, since this diagram has five points.
- 'Abdu'l-Bahá (Bahá'í Scriptures, p.
