March 15
Unto every discerning observer it is evident and manifest
that had these people in the days of each of the Manifestations of the Sun of
Truth sanctified their eyes, their ears, and their hearts from whatever they
had seen, heard, and felt, they surely would not have
been deprived of beholding the beauty of God, nor strayed far from the
habitations of glory. But having weighed the testimony of God by the standard
of their own knowledge, gleaned from the teachings of the leaders of their
faith, and found it at variance with their limited understanding, they arose to
perpetrate such unseemly acts.... (Baha’u’llah, ‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
