The beginning of all utterance is the worship of God, and
this followeth upon His recognition. Sanctified must be the eye if it is to
truly recognize Him, and sanctified must be the tongue if it is to befittingly
utter His praise. In this day the faces of the people of insight and
understanding are turned in His direction; nay every direction inclineth itself
towards Him.
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Tabernacle of Unity’)
