Christ possessed nothing that He regarded as His own. He sought only the education of humanity. His success was His prosperity. However, the cause of Christ prospered, and that was the prosperity of Christ. Likewise did the cause of the Bab and Baha'Ullah prosper, for neither desired other than the prosperity of their cause.
Religion is like truth or science.
Regardless of whether or not the whole world accepts it or rejects it, it is. Once people believed the Earth was flat. For all their belief, the Earth was an oblate spheroid, and they were ignorant. The Babi Faith was a universal faith. Universality is not about social acceptance but about the truth.
