"
Though the Manifestations of God are powerful and yield absolute power over mankind, yet they are wholly submitted unto God and have no will of their own. Bahá'u'lláh refers to Himself as `but a leaf which the winds of the Will of Thy Lord... have stirred'.And elsewhere He describes His Own station thus: `This station is the station in which one dieth to himself and liveth in God. Divinity, whenever I mention it, indicateth My complete and absolute self-effacement. This is the station in which I have no control over mine own weal or woe, nor over my life nor over my resurrection.'(Abdu'l-Baha, Selections from the Writings of Abdu'l-Baha, p. 247)
