Question: What is
the significance of "mystery" referred to in the blessed tablets?
‘Abdu’l-Baha's answer: Mystery signifies the subjects and
questions which are far beyond the minds and comprehensions of the people. When
a perfect personage unveils and expounds them, fair souls comprehend them. Therefore
the reality of the Manifestation of Christ was, in the cycle of Moses, a
mystery of Divine Mysteries, which afterward became revealed in the
Manifestation of Christ.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From a table talk in Akka in 1907; notes
taken by Corinne True; ‘Notes Taken at Acca’, booklet published by Baha’i
Publishing Society, Chicago 1907)
