Progress only takes place within its own degree; Self-improvement; self-perfection; discipline; Transcendence; unknowability of God

این علامت ترقی است ان کس که خود راضی است شیطانست و انکه راضی نیست مظهر رحمن

This is a sign of progress. The person who is satisfied with himself is the manifestation of Satan and the one who is not satisfied is the manifestation of the Merciful One.

Letter to the wife of the Bab, in Maku

Do not expect any assistance from thy brothers. They will not help; it is enough that they refrain from insults. Overlook their faults. Even Our enemies have not caused the like of what resulted from the acts of Siyyid 118 in Isfahan

Addresses a number of theological questions by implying that the answers lie in the realm of action, in the process elucidating several central Bahá’í teachings: that the Manifestations should be regarded as ‘divine physicians’ prescribing the remedy from age to age in accordance with the disease, that the unity of mankind is the remedy for the ills of today, that one should be ‘anxiously concerned with the needs of the age’ in which one lives and centre one’s deliberations ‘on its exigencies and requirements’, and that words should be matched with deeds and that both should be motivated by purity of intention.
