O lion-hearted one! We beseech God that thou mayest become a
champion in this arena, arise with heavenly power and say: “O high priests!
Ears have been given you that they may hearken unto the mystery of Him Who is
the Self-Dependent, and eyes that they may behold Him. Wherefore flee ye? The
Incomparable Friend is manifest. He speaketh that wherein lieth salvation. Were
ye, O high priests, to discover the perfume of the rose garden of
understanding, ye would seek none other but Him, and would recognize, in His
new vesture, the All-Wise and Peerless One, and would turn your eyes from the
world and all who seek it, and would arise to help Him.”
(Baha’u’llah, ‘The Tabernacle
of Unity’)
