The Lord Christ said, “He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father”—God manifested in man. The sun does not leave his place in the heavens and descend into the mirror, for the actions of ascent and descent, coming and going, do not belong to the Infinite, they are the methods of finite beings. In the Manifestation of God, the perfectly polished mirror, appear the qualities of the Divine in a form that man is capable of comprehending.
—‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Paris Talks
