The Key
"And now concerning
thy question regarding the nature of religion. Know thou that they
who are truly wise have likened the world unto the human temple.
As the body of man needeth a garment to clothe it, so the body of
mankind must needs be adorned with the mantle of justice and wisdom.
Its robe is the Revelation vouchsafed unto it by God. Whenever this
robe hath fulfilled its purpose, the Almighty will assuredly renew
it. For every age requireth a fresh measure of the light of God.
Every Divine Revelation hath been sent down in a manner that befitted
the circumstances of the age in which it hath appeared." Baha'u'llah:
Gleanings, p 81
