Arise thou, in My name, above the horizon of renunciation,
and set, then, thy face towards the Kingdom, at the bidding of thy Lord, the
Lord of strength and of might. Through
the power of My sovereignty stand before the inhabitants of the world and say:
“O people! The Day is come, and the fragrances of God have been wafted over the
whole of creation. They that have turned away from His Face are the helpless
victims of their corrupt inclinations. They are indeed of them that have gone
astray.”
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to
Napoleon III, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts’)
