Take heed lest the
world beguile you as it beguiled the people who went before you! Observe ye the
statutes and precepts of your Lord, and walk ye in this Way which hath been
laid out before you in righteousness and truth. They who eschew iniquity and
error, who adhere to virtue, are, in the sight of the one true God, among the
choicest of His creatures; their names are extolled by the Concourse of the
realms above, and by those who dwell in this Tabernacle which hath been raised
in the name of God.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
