… the perfect man, the Prophet, is one who is transfigured,
one who has the purity and clearness of a perfect mirror -- one who reflects
the Sun of Truth. Of such a one -- of such a Prophet and Messenger -- we can
say that the Light of Divinity with the heavenly Perfections dwells in him.
If we claim that the sun is seen in the mirror, we do not mean that the sun
itself has descended from the holy heights of his heaven and entered into the
mirror! This is impossible. The Divine Nature is seen in the Manifestations and
its Light and Splendor are visible in extreme glory.
