May 12
Blessed art thou and blessed is the mother that hath nursed
thee. Appreciate the value of this station and arise to serve His Cause in such
wise that the idle fancies and insinuations of the doubters withhold thee not from
this high resolve. The Day-Star of certitude is shining resplendent but the
people of the world are holding fast unto vain imaginings. The Ocean of divine
knowledge hath risen high whilst the children of men are clinging to the hem of
the foolish. But for the unfailing grace of God—exalted be His glory—no
antidote could ever cure these inveterate diseases. (Baha’u’llah, ‘Tablets of
Baha’u’llah revealed after the kitab-i-Aqdas’)
