"Consider
the lamp which is hidden under a bushel. Though its light be shining,
yet its radiance is concealed from men. Likewise, consider the sun which
hath been obscured by the clouds. Observe how its splendor appeareth to
have diminished, when in reality the source of that light hath remained
unchanged. The soul of man should be likened unto this sun, and all
things on earth should be regarded as his body. So long as no external
impediment interveneth between them, the body will, in its entirety,
continue to reflect the light of the soul, and to be sustained by its
power. As soon as, however, a veil interposeth itself between them, the
brightness of that light seemeth to lessen."Baha'u'llah
