February 11
O King! The stars of the heaven of knowledge have fallen,
they who seek to establish the truth of My Cause through the things they
possess, and who make mention of God in My Name. And yet, when I came unto them
in My glory, they turned aside. They, indeed, are of the fallen. This is,
truly, that which the Spirit of God (Jesus Christ) hath announced, when He came
with truth unto you, He with Whom the Jewish doctors disputed, till at last they perpetrated what hath made the Holy Spirit to lament,
and the tears of them that have near access to God to flow. (Baha’u’llah, from
a Tablet to Napoleon, ‘Epistle to
the Son of the Wolf’)
