Portrait of Muhammad Shah and
his Vizier Haj Mirza Aghasi |
“He [Mullá Husayn] passed several days in that capital but
he did not appear in public. He limited himself to confidential conversations
with those who visited him. He thus received many and won over to his doctrine
a fairly large number of enquirers. Each one wished to see him, or to have seen
him, and the King, Muhammad Sháh and his Minister, Hájí Mírzá Aqásí, true
Persians as they were, did not fail to have him brought before them. He laid
before them his doctrine and gave to them the Books of the Master.” (Comte de
Gobineau’s “Les Religions et les Philosophies dans l’Asie Centrale,” p. 131.)
