... is not the object of every
Revelation to effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a
transformation that shall manifest itself both outwardly and inwardly, that
shall affect both its inner life and external conditions? For if the character
of mankind be not changed, the futility of God's universal Manifestations would
be apparent.
- Bahá'u'lláh (‘The Kitáb-i-Íqán‘)
