In the Báb physical beauty was joined to that of the spirit. His hair was black and His dark brown eyes shone like stars. His features were symmetrical and His face most luminous. His carriage was majestic, yet simple and humble. The purity of His character was such that even His enemies could find no fault with Him. It would be hard to imagine a life more spotless, more devoted to love for humanity. He reflected the light of the spirit and radiated to those around Him such wonderful spiritual life that His superiority was generally recognized, and He was shown utmost honor and respect. When He entered a room He was given the seat of honor and others, involuntarily, waited for Him to speak first. He was full of happiness, contentment and resignation; so it seemed as if the Spirit of God were shining from that young body.
