Those who had “assumed the title of “Him Whom God shall make manifest” sought Bahá’u’lláh’s “presence, confess their error and supplicate His forgiveness”

Even those who, in their folly and temerity had, in Baghdád, in Karbilá, in Qum, in Káshán, in Tabríz and in Ṭihrán, arrogated to themselves the rights, and assumed the title of “Him Whom God shall make manifest” were for the most part instinctively led to seek His presence, confess their error and supplicate His forgiveness.
