Bahá'u'lláh's claim to be God
When Bahá'u'lláh contemplates relationship binding Him to God, He is moved to proclaim "Verily I am God!"[edit]
“When I contemplate, O my God, the relationship that bindeth me to Thee, I am moved to proclaim to all created things ‘Verily I am God!’”
- (Bahá'u'lláh, cited in World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 113)
Nothing can be seen in Bahá'u'lláh but God[edit]
“Naught is seen in My temple but the Temple of God, and in My beauty but His Beauty, and in My being but His Being, and in My self but His Self, and in My movement but His Movement, and in My acquiescence but His Acquiescence, and in My pen but His Pen, the Mighty, the All-Praised. There hath not been in My soul but the Truth, and in Myself naught could be seen but God.”
- (Bahá'u'lláh, Summons of the Lord of Hosts, Súriy-i-Haykal, par. 44; also cited in World Order of Bahá’u’lláh, p. 109)
