Morning
O thou who hast gone astray! Thou hast neither seen Me, nor associated with Me, nor been My companion for the fraction of a moment. How is it, then, that thou hast bidden men to curse Me? Didst thou, in this, follow the promptings of thine own desires, or didst thou obey thy Lord? Produce thou a sign, if thou art one of the truthful. We testify that thou hast cast behind thy back the Law of God, and laid hold on the dictates of thy passions. Nothing, in truth, escapeth His knowledge; He, verily, is the Incomparable, the All-Informed.
- Baha’u’llah (From the Lawh-i-Burhan [1] quoted by Baha’u’llah in ‘The Epistle to the Son of Wolf’)
[1] Lawh-i-Burhán (Tablet of the Proof) was revealed after the martyrdom of the King of Martyrs and the Beloved of Martyrs and was addressed to Shaykh Muhammad Báqir, denounced by Bahá’u’lláh as the ‘Wolf’.
