O peoples of the earth! God, the Eternal Truth, is My
witness that streams of fresh and soft-flowing waters have gushed from the
rocks through the sweetness of the words uttered by your Lord, the
Unconstrained; and still ye slumber. Cast away that which ye possess, and, on
the wings of detachment, soar beyond all created things. Thus biddeth you the
Lord of creation, the movement of Whose Pen hath revolutionized the soul of
mankind. (Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
