Abandon that which ye possess, and seize that which God, Who
layeth low the necks of men, hath brought. Know ye of a certainty that if ye
turn not back from that which ye have committed, chastisement will overtake you
on every side, and ye shall behold things more grievous than that which ye
beheld aforetime. (Baha’u’llah, quoted by Shoghi Effendi in ‘The Promised Day
Is Come’)
