Myriads of holy verses have descended from the heaven of
might and grace, yet no one hath turned thereunto, nor ceased to cling to those
words of men, not one letter of which they that have spoken them comprehend.
For this reason the people have doubted incontestable truths, such as these,
and caused themselves to be deprived of the Ridván of divine knowledge, and the
eternal meads of celestial wisdom.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The
Kitab-i-Iqan)
