Mirza Yaḥya was not up to the leadership, nor was he entitled to place himself above his much older brother, especially when he was bound by the tie of gratitude. 'Remember, says Baha-'ullah, 'the favour of thy master, when we brought thee up during the nights and days for the service of the Religion. Fear God, and be of those who repent.
Nor was it only the old physician and the poor Bābī disciple who were on the track of Baha-'ullah, but 'several persons' no doubt persons of weight, who were anxious for a settlement of the points at issue in the Bābī community. It would presumably throw much light on the relations between the brothers at this critical period.
Educationally valuable, therefore, as Some Answered Questions may be, we cannot attach so much importance to it as to the story the true story of the converted Muḥammadan. When at home, Abdul Baha only discusses Western problems with visitors from the West. The Legacy left by Baha-'ullah to his son was, it must be admitted, an onerous educational duty.
Similar associations belong to Ḥaifa, so long the residence of the saintly son of a saintly father. If there has been any prophet in recent times, it is to Baha-'ullah that we must go. Pretenders like Ṣubḥ-i-Ezel and Muḥammad are quickly unmasked. Character is the final judge. Baha-'ullah was a man of the highest class that of prophets.
But till we have already entered upon a new aeon, we shall have to look back in a special degree to the prophets who introduced our own aeon, Baha-'ullah and Keshab Chandra Sen, whose common object is the spiritual unification of all peoples.
These words are either a meaningless extravagance, or they are a deliberate assertion that Ṣubḥ-i-Ezel had sought to destroy his brother, and had then circulated a written declaration that it was Baha-'ullah who had sought to destroy Ṣubḥ-i-Ezel.
The end of the Bāb's earthly Manifestation is now close upon us. He had already 'set his house in order, as regards the spiritual affairs of the Bābī community, which he had, if I mistake not, confided to the intuitive wisdom of Baha-'ullah. His literary executorship he now committed to the same competent hands.
If this is correct, Baha-'ullah was more widely known in Turkish Kurdistan than his family was aware, and debated high questions of theology as frequently as if he were in Baghdad or at the Supreme Shrine.
Baha-'ullah, it declares, exercised great influence on the second stage of the heroine's development, and Ḳurratu'l 'Ayn was one of those who had pressed forward into the innermost sanctum of the Bāb's disclosures. She was aware that 'The Splendour of God' was 'He whom God would manifest. The words of the poem, in Prof. Browne's translation, refer, not to Ezel, but to his brother Baha-'ullah.
Together with several Bābī families, and, of course, his own nearest and dearest, Baha-'ullah set out for Baghdad. It was a terrible journey in rough mountain country and the travellers suffered greatly from exposure. On their arrival fresh misery stared the ladies in the face, unaccustomed as they were to such rough life.
