I think that point is that when one accepts the Light, the Will of God, one accepts it in whatever Lamp it chooses to manifest itself. If, on the other hand, one is attached to the Lamp, then one may reject its Light, the Will of God, when it shines through a different Lamp.JS>
In other words, if one is really in LOVE with the LIGHT and NOT the LAMP, then one recognizes that the LIGHT was passed on from Jesus to Muhammad to the Bab to Baha'u'llah.
