15.    Perquisites of Him Whom God Will Make Manifest

15.7.   Summation
To sum up, He whom god will make manifest stands in relation to the Point of the Bayan as did the Point of the Bayan to the Point of Furghan [i.e. the Quran] .. as far back as the First Manifestation.

Each is He who arises (Qaim) and whose uprising is the Resurrection (Qiyamat). Each is the Beginner and the Restorer, the Major Manifestation, the Sun of Truth, the Point of Volition, the Manifestation of Lordship of God, the Manifestation of the Oneness and Unity of God, and the fulfilment of the words “there is nothing like Him”.

All others are Mirrors of the Sun of Truth. From the Primal Mirror such as Joshua, John and Ali to the lowest person who is guided into the true faith through the former.

At most the Primal Mirrors speak of the names, attributes, acts and deeds of the Sun of Truth; other mirrors speak of the Sun of Truth according to their receptive capacity.

The major manifestation is like the Sun in macrocosm and like the heart in microcosm.

There can be no two suns in one sky, no two hearts in one body and no two major manifestations in one age. No mirror high soever may advance to claim to independence of the Major Manifestation.
Secondary or simple mirrors cannot endure the effulgence of the Primal Mirrors.

The return of the Major Manifestation in the person of a secondary or simple mirror is therefore, out of the question.
