O ye peoples of the
world! Know assuredly that My commandments are the lamps of My loving
providence among My servants, and the keys of My mercy for My creatures. Thus
hath it been sent down from the heaven of the Will of your Lord, the Lord of
Revelation. Were any man to taste the sweetness of the words which the lips of
the All-Merciful have willed to utter, he would, though the treasures of the
earth be in his possession, renounce them one and all, that he might vindicate
the truth of even one of His commandments, shining above the Dayspring of His
bountiful care and loving-kindness.
- Baha'u'llah (‘The Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
