This
Wronged One hath, at all times, aimed and striven to exalt and advance the
interests of both the government and the people, not to elevate His own
station. A number of men have, now, gathered others about them, and have arisen
to dishonor this Wronged One. He, nevertheless, beseecheth God—hallowed and glorified
be He—to aid them to return unto Him, and assist them to compensate for that
which escaped them, and repent before the door of His bounty. He, verily, is
the Forgiving, the Merciful.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Epistle to the Son of the Wolf’)
