In the concluding passages of the Tablet to His Majesty the
Emperor of Paris (Napoleon III) these exalted words have been revealed:
“Exultest thou over the treasures thou dost possess, knowing they shall perish?
Rejoicest thou in that thou rulest a span of earth, when the whole world, in
the estimation of the people of Bahá, is worth as much as the black in the eye
of a dead ant? Abandon it unto such as have set their affections upon it, and
turn thou unto Him Who is the Desire of the world.”
- Baha’u’llah (‘Epistle to
the Son of the Wolf’)
