God is Divine and His Manifestations are...

(This was first written on Oct 10, 2006 on our Proboards site.)

Like I was saying, God is Divine and God's Manifestations are the Essence of Divine.

If a pure, fine mirror faces the sun, the light and heat, the form and the image of the sun will be resplendent in it with such manifestation that if a beholder says of the sun, which is brilliant and visible in the mirror, "This is the sun," it is true. Nevertheless, the mirror is the mirror, and the sun is the sun. The One Sun, even if it appears in numerous mirrors, is one.  (Abdu'l-Baha, Some Answered Questions, p. 207)

So, it can be said for ANY Manifestation of God,
Abraham
Moses
Zoroaster
Krishna
Buddha
Christ
Muhammad
the Bab
Baha'u'llah
(fill in the blank from the list above) is the Essence of Divine.

Truth is bliss,

It is not for him to pride himself who loveth his own country, but rather for him who loveth the whole world. The earth is but one country, and mankind its citizens. ~~Baha'u'llah

The chief idols in the desecrated temple of mankind are none other than the triple gods of Nationalism, Racialism and Communism, at whose altars governments and peoples, whether democratic or totalitarian, at peace or at war, of the East or of the West, Christian or Islamic, are, in various forms and in different degrees, now worshiping. ~~Shoghi Effendi, The Promised Day is Come
