“The energies with which the Day Star of Divine
bounty and Source of heavenly guidance hath
endowed the reality of man lie, however, latent
within him, even as the flame is hidden within the
candle and the rays of light are potentially present
in the lamp. The radiance of these energies may
be obscured by worldly desires even as the light
of the sun can be concealed beneath the dust
and dross which cover the mirror.”
Bahá’u’lláh
