O people of the world! Follow not the promptings of the
self, for it summoneth insistently to wickedness and lust; follow, rather, Him
Who is the Possessor of all created things, Who biddeth you to show forth
piety, and manifest the fear of God. He, verily, is independent of all His
creatures. Take heed not to stir up mischief in the land after it hath been set
in order. Whoso acteth in this way is not of Us, and We are quit of him. Such
is the command which hath, through the power of truth, been made manifest from
the heaven of Revelation.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
