Bahá’u’lláh here alludes to ‘Abdu’l-Bahá as His Successor
and calls upon the believers to turn towards Him. In the
Book of the Covenant, His Will and Testament, Bahá’u’lláh
discloses the intention of this verse. He states: “The object of
this sacred verse is none other except the Most Mighty Branch.”
The “Most Mighty Branch” is one of the titles conferred by
Bahá’u’lláh on ‘Abdu’l-Bahá. (See also notes 66 and 184.)
