O people of the
Bayán! Fear ye the Most Merciful and consider what He hath revealed in another
passage. He said: “The Qiblih is indeed He Whom God will make manifest;
whenever He moveth, it moveth, until He shall come to rest.” Thus was it set
down by the Supreme Ordainer when He desired to make mention of this Most Great
Beauty. Meditate on this, O people, and be not of them that wander distraught
in the wilderness of error. If ye reject Him at the bidding of your idle
fancies, where then is the Qiblih to which ye will turn, O assemblage of the
heedless? Ponder ye this verse, and judge equitably before God, that haply ye
may glean the pearls of mysteries from the ocean that surgeth in My Name, the
All-Glorious, the Most High.
- Baha’u’llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
