Whether in His assertion of the unprecedented claim He has
advanced, or in His allusions to the mysterious forces He has released, whether
in such passages as extol the glories of His long-awaited Day, or magnify the
station which they who have recognized its hidden virtues will attain,
Bahá’u’lláh and, to an almost equal extent, the Báb and ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, have
bequeathed to posterity mines of such inestimable wealth as none of us who
belong to this generation can befittingly estimate.

a letter dated February 8, 1934; ‘The Dispensation of Baha’u’llah’)
