Cast away the things current amongst men and take fast hold
on that whereunto ye are bidden by virtue of the Will of the Ordainer, the
Ancient of Days. This is the Day wherein the divine Lote-Tree calleth aloud,
saying: O people! Behold ye My fruits and My leaves, incline then your ears
unto My rustling. Beware lest the doubts of men debar you from the light of
certitude. The Ocean of utterance exclaimeth and saith: ‘O ye dwellers on the
earth! Behold My billowing waters and the pearls of wisdom and utterance which
I have poured forth. Fear ye God and be not of the heedless.’
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
