Regarding the Haykal, Baháʼu'lláh writes that it refers to the human or

physical temple of the Manifestation of God (prophets of God). He states

that the Manifestation of God is a pure mirror that reflects the

sovereignty of God and manifests God's beauty and grandeur to mankind. In

essence Baháʼu'lláh explains that the Manifestation of God is a "Living

Temple" and every time that Baháʼu'lláh addresses the Haykal he shows a new

facet of God's revelation.

The Haykal, which represents the Manifestation of God who spreads the Word

of God in the form of a human temple, has members each of whom symbolize

one of the signs and attributes of God. To the eyes of the Haykal he asks

it to not look at the world of creation, but instead to focus on the beauty

of God. To the Haykal's ears Baháʼu'lláh asks it to become deaf to the

voices of the ungodly and to listen to the Word of God. To the tongue of

the Haykal Baháʼu'lláh states that it has been created to mention the name

of God. To the hands of the Haykal Baháʼu'lláh asks them to stretch out

upon all humankind and hold within their grasp the reins of God. Finally,

Baháʼu'lláh states that from the heart of the Haykal knowledge will emerge

and raise scientists who will bring about technological achievements.
