Were men to meditate upon the lives of the Prophets of old,
so easily would they come to know and understand the ways of these Prophets
that they would cease to be veiled by such deeds and words as are contrary to
their own worldly desires, and thus consume every intervening veil with the
fire burning in the Bush of divine knowledge, and abide secure upon the throne
of peace and certitude. (Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Iqan)
