The newly
born babe of that Day excels the wisest and most venerable men of this time,
and the lowliest and most unlearned of that period shall surpass in
understanding the most erudite and accomplished divines of this age... (The
Báb, quoted in "The Dawn-Breakers: Nabil's Narrative of the Early Days of
the Baha'i Revelation", translated and edited by Shoghi Effendi)
