Say: It behoveth you, O Ministers of State, to keep the
precepts of God…and to be of them who are guided aright. Better is this for you
than all ye possess, did ye but know it. If ye transgress the commandment of
God, not one jot or one tittle of all your works shall be acceptable in His sight.
Ye shall, erelong, discover the consequences of that which ye shall have done
in this vain life, and shall be repaid for them. This, verily, is the truth,
the undoubted truth.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
