Bahá’u’lláh’s visit to Núr had produced the most
far-reaching results, and had lent a remarkable impetus to the spread of the
new-born Revelation. By His magnetic eloquence, by the purity of His life, by
the dignity of His bearing, by the unanswerable logic of His argument, and by
the many evidences of His loving-kindness, Bahá’u’lláh had won the hearts of
the people of Núr, had stirred their souls, and had enrolled them under the
standard of the Faith. Such was the effect of words and deeds, as He went about
preaching the Cause and revealing its glory to His countrymen in Núr, that the
very stones and trees of that district seemed to have been quickened by the
waves of spiritual power which emanated from His person. All things seemed to
be endowed with a new and more abundant life, all things seemed to be
proclaiming aloud: “Behold, the Beauty of God has been made manifest! Arise,
for He has come in all His glory.”
(Chapter 5, ‘The Dawn-Breakers’)
