The Faith of God is endowed with penetrating might and
power. Erelong that which hath flowed from Our tongue will outwardly come to
pass. We beseech God to bestow upon thee the strength to assist Him. He,
verily, is the All-Knowing, the All-Powerful. Wert thou to obtain and peruse
the Súriy-i-Ra’ís and the Súriy-i-Mulúk, thou wouldst find thyself able to
dispense with thy questions and wouldst arise to serve the Cause of God in such
wise that the oppression of the world and the onslaught of its peoples would
fail to deter thee from aiding Him Who is the ancient and sovereign Lord of
all.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Tabernacle of Unity’, Bahá’u’lláh’s Responses to
Mánikchí Sáhib and Other Writings’)
