Say: He Who is the
Unconstrained is come, in the clouds of light, that He may quicken the world
with the breezes of His name, the Most Merciful, and unify its peoples, and
gather all men around this Table which hath been sent down from heaven. Beware that ye deny not the favour of God
after it hath been sent down unto you.
Better is this for you than that which ye possess; for that which is
yours perisheth, whilst that which is with God endureth. He, in truth, ordaineth what He
pleaseth. Verily, the breezes of
forgiveness have been wafted from the direction of your Lord, the God of Mercy;
whoso turneth thereunto shall be cleansed of his sins, and of all pain and
sickness. Happy the man that hath turned
towards them, and woe betide him that hath turned aside.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet
to Napoleon III, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple]; ‘The Summons of the Lord of
Hosts’)
