Yes, of course, in my understanding of the Baha'i Sacred Writings. And in the understanding of Sekhmet, Scott, and Hasan as well. Since you can read/understand Persian, dear Max, please check a passage from `Abdu'l-Baha on pages 299-300 of amr va khalq Volume 1

Dear Max and dear Mark: I wasn't offended by Max's remark because, in a sense, the understanding of each and every one of us is limited anyhow. Again, according to my own limited understanding. As I pointed out a Persian passage by `Abdu'l-Baha on pages 299-300 of Volume 1 of amr wa khalq

Thank you for reminding us dear Iskandar of the significance of 31st August as the Day of Baha'u'llah's entrance to the Most Great Prison. ***I have seen, O Shah, in the path of God what eye hath not seen nor ear heard. Mine acquaintances have repudiated Me, and My pathways have been straitened.
