Verily I say, such is the greatness of this Cause that the
father flieth from his son, and the son flieth from his father. Call ye to mind
the story of Noah and Canaan. God grant that, in these days of heavenly
delight, ye may not deprive yourselves of the sweet savors of the All-Glorious
God, and may partake, in this spiritual Springtime, of the outpourings of His
grace. Arise in the name of Him Who is the Object of all knowledge, and, with
absolute detachment from the learning of men, lift up your voices and proclaim
His Cause. I swear by the Day Star of Divine Revelation! The very moment ye
arise, ye will witness how a flood of Divine knowledge will gush out of your
hearts, and will behold the wonders of His heavenly wisdom manifested in all
their glory before you.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of
Baha’u’llah’)
