Be an ornament to the countenance of truth, a crown to the
brow of fidelity, a pillar of the temple of righteousness, a breath of life to
the body of mankind, an ensign of the hosts of justice, a luminary above the
horizon of virtue, a dew to the soil of the human heart, an ark on the ocean of
knowledge, a sun in the heaven of bounty, a gem on the diadem of wisdom, a
shining light in the firmament of thy generation, a fruit
upon the tree of humility.
(Baha’u’llah, from a Tablet addressed to one of His sons, quoted by Baha’u’llah in the ‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
