“Understand in the same way the beginning of the
manifestation of the Bayán during forty days no one but the letter Síná
believed in B. It was only, little by little, that the
Bismi’lláhu’l-Amná’u’l-Aqdas clothed themselves with the garment of faith until
finally the Primal Unity was completed. Witness then how it has increased until
our day.” (“Le Bayán Persan,” vol. 4, p. 119.)
