May 21
Make not your deeds as snares wherewith to entrap the object
of your aspiration, and deprive not yourselves of this Ultimate Objective for
which have ever yearned all such as have drawn nigh unto God. Say: The very life
of all deeds is My good pleasure, and all things depend upon Mine acceptance.
Read ye the Tablets that ye may know what hath been purposed in the Books of
God, the All-Glorious, the Ever-Bounteous. He who attaineth to My love hath
title to a throne of gold, to sit thereon in honour over all the world; he who
is deprived thereof, though he sit upon the dust, that dust would seek refuge
with God, the Lord of all Religions. (Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
