Man… on the
plane of the contingent world is the most perfect being. By man is meant the
perfect individual, who is like unto a mirror in which the divine perfections
are manifested and reflected. But the sun doth not descend from the height of
its sanctity to enter into the mirror, but when the latter is purified and
turned towards the Sun of Truth, the perfections of this Sun, consisting of
light and heat, are reflected and manifested in that mirror. These souls are
the Divine Manifestations of God.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
