He is the true
servant of God who, in this day, were he to pass through cities of silver and
gold, would not deign to look upon them, and whose heart would remain pure and
undefiled from whatever things can be seen in this world, be they its goods or
its treasures. I swear by the Sun of Truth! The breath of such a man is endowed
with potency, and his words with attraction...
- Baha’u’llah (Cited in Shoghi
Effendi, "The Advent of Divine Justice")
