They that immerse themselves in the ocean of His utterances
should at all times have the utmost regard for the divinely-revealed ordinances
and prohibitions. Indeed His ordinances constitute the mightiest stronghold for
the protection of the world and the safeguarding of its peoples—a light upon
those who acknowledge and recognize the truth, and a fire unto such as turn
away and deny.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Tajalliyat (Effulgences), ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah
revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
