O thou who hast quaffed from the wine of Mine utterance and
hast fixed thy gaze upon the horizon of My Revelation! How strange that the
people of Persia, who were unrivalled in sciences and arts, should have sunk to
the lowest level of degradation among the kindreds of the earth. O people! In
this blessed, this glorious Day, deprive not yourselves of the liberal
effusions of bounty which the Lord of abounding grace hath vouchsafed unto you.
In this Day showers of wisdom and utterance are pouring down from the clouds of
divine mercy. Well is it with them who judge His Cause with fairness, and woe
betide the unjust.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
