O King! The stars of
the heaven of knowledge have fallen, they who seek to establish the truth of My
Cause through the things they possess, and who make mention of God in My
Name. And yet, when I came unto them in
My glory, they turned aside. They,
indeed, are of the fallen. This is,
truly, that which the Spirit of God hath announced, when He came with truth
unto you, He with Whom the Jewish doctors disputed, till at last they
perpetrated what hath made the Holy Spirit to lament, and the tears of them
that have near access to God to flow.
- Baha'u'llah (Tablet to Napoleon III, Suriy-i-Haykal [Tablet of Temple];
‘The Summons of the Lord of Hosts’)
