Salutation
and praise rest upon them that have not been kept back by any transitory thing
whatever, nor have been alarmed by the violent commotions provoked by the
people of the earth-- such people as are immersed in the pursuit of earthly
vanities and have been deluded by the gay livery of the world, in such wise
that they have cast the Cause of God behind their backs. The day is fast
approaching when He will have rolled up their domain and spread out a new one in
its spread. Verily, He is the One, the Peerless. the Powerful, the Invincible,
the Almighty.
(Baha’u’llah, compilation: ‘Fire and Light’, prepared by the Research Department of the
Universal House of Justice; The Baha’i World 1979-1983)
