We find God only through the Intermediary of His Prophet. We
see the Perfection of God in His Prophets. Time and space are physical things;
God, the Creator, is not a “place” as we conceive of place in physical terms.
God is the Infinite Essence, the Creator. We cannot picture Him or His state,
but if we did, we would be His equals, not His creatures. God is never flesh,
but mirrored in the attributes of His Prophets we see His Divine
characteristics and perfections.
- Shoghi Effendi (From a letter written on behalf of Shoghi
Effendi to an individual believer; ‘High Endevours: Messages to Alaska’)
