Say: True liberty consisteth in man’s submission unto My
commandments, little as ye know it. Were men to observe that which We have sent
down unto them from the Heaven of Revelation, they would, of a certainty,
attain unto perfect liberty. Happy is the man that hath apprehended the Purpose
of God in whatever He hath revealed from the Heaven of His Will that pervadeth
all created things. Say: The liberty that profiteth you is to be found nowhere
except in complete servitude unto God, the Eternal Truth. Whoso hath tasted of
its sweetness will refuse to barter it for all the dominion of earth and
heaven.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
