Baha’u’llah’s reference to “this Youth”

Asked about Bahá'u'lláh referring to Himself as This Youth, and its meaning, the Guardian said Bahá'u'lláh was only 27 years old when He espoused the Babi Cause, and 35 years of age at the time of His first declaration (of being "Him Whom God shall make Manifest”). Afterward there was a difference of opinion as to whether he said it expressed youth and vitality or eternal youth.
