Speech: Nuriootpa, Australia by Chad Mauger Via Flickr: I chose this image based on the following two quotes from the Kitáb-i-Íqán by Bahá’u’lláh, wherein he refers to the Manifestations of God. “The beauty of their countenance is but a reflection of His image, and their revelation a sign of His deathless glory” and “...of all men, the most accomplished, the most distinguished and the most excellent are the Manifestations of the Sun of Truth. ...all in their holy presence fade into utter nothingness, and are a thing forgotten. Human tongue can never befittingly sing their praise, and human speech can never unfold their mystery.” — Bahá’u’lláh, The Kitáb-i-Íqán Nineteen Months
