...compared with all other proofs and tokens, the divinely revealed verses shine as the sun, whilst all others are as stars... They are the treasury of the divine pearls and the depository of the divine mysteries.... Through them floweth the river of divine knowledge, and gloweth the fire of His ancient and consummate wisdom. This is the fire which, in one and the same moment, kindleth the flame of love in the breasts of the faithful, and induceth the chill of heedlessness in the heart of the enemy.
—Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqán
