... 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‘)
