The sanctified souls
should ponder and meditate in their hearts regarding the methods of teaching.
From the texts of the wondrous, heavenly Scriptures they should memorize
phrases and passages bearing on various instances, so that in the course of
their speech they may recite divine verses whenever the occasion demandeth it,
inasmuch as these holy verses are the most potent elixir, the greatest and
mightiest talisman. So potent is their influence that the hearer will have no
cause for vacillation. I swear by My life! This Revelation is endowed with such
a power that it will act as the lodestone for all nations and kindreds of the
earth. Should one pause to meditate attentively he would recognize that no
place is there, nor can there be, for anyone to flee to.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets
of Bahá'u'lláh Revealed after the Kitáb-i-Aqdas’; The Compilation of
Compilations, vol. I, The Importance of Deepening our Knowledge of the Faith)
