He Who is your Lord, the All-Merciful, cherisheth in His
heart the desire of beholding the entire human race as one soul and one
body. Haste ye to win your share of
God’s good grace and mercy in this Day that eclipseth all other created
Days. How great the felicity that
awaiteth the man that forsaketh all he hath in a desire to obtain the things of
God! Such a man, We testify, is among
God’s blessed ones.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Napoleon III, Suriy-i-Haykal
[Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
