Looking up a reference for Gerald, I came across the following. -gw

Bahá'u'lláh also explains that through this Book He has brought two heavenly gifts to mankind. One is a lamp and the other is a key. He says that His commandments are the lamp of mercy entrusted to hands of man. The key is His love. Having the lines of the lamp in our hands, that lamp will help us on our upward march in life, and when we cross the roads and paths, we come across treasures of immeasurable precious stones. By the light of His commandments, we find such treasures, and by the key of His love, we open them and allow humanity to benefit by them. This love is defined by the beloved Master as the mystery of divine revelation, as the spiritual fulfillment of any individual person, as the light of the Kingdom and the breath of the Holy Spirit inspires unto the human spirit is the cause of the manifestation of truth in the phenomenal world, is the means of the most great happiness in both the material and spiritual worlds. It is the greatest law in this vast universe of God. It is the universal magnetic power between the planets and stars shining in the lofty firmament.
