God can be likened to the Sun Whose Spirit reaches us through the Souls of His Manifestations

We liken God to the Sun, which gives us all our life. So the Spirit of God reaches us through the Souls of the Manifestations. We must learn to commune with Their Souls …, This is the true mysticism, and the secret, inner meaning of life... (From a letter dated 28 July 1950 written on behalf of Shoghi Effendi Manchester Spiritual Assembly; The Unfolding Destiny of the British Baha'i Community)
