…it behoveth the people of truth that the signs of humility
should shine upon their faces, that the light of sanctity should radiate from
their countenances, that they should walk upon the earth as though they were in
the presence of God and distinguish themselves in their deeds from all the
dwellers of the earth. Such must be their state that their eyes should behold
the evidences of His might, their tongues and hearts make mention of His name,
their feet be set towards the lands of His nearness, and their hands take fast
hold upon His precepts. And were they to pass through a valley of pure gold and
mines of precious silver, they should regard them as wholly unworthy of their
attention.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘Gems of Divine Mysteries’)
