This Wronged One hath invariably treated the wise with affection.
By the wise is meant men whose knowledge is not confined to mere words and
whose lives have been fruitful and have produced enduring results. It is
incumbent upon everyone to honour these blessed souls. Happy are they that
observe God’s precepts; happy are they that have recognized the Truth; happy
are they that judge with fairness in all matters and hold fast to the Cord of
My inviolable Justice.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
