Those who are ignorant or heedless of the motivating purpose
of the Cause of God have rebelled against Him. Such men are the foreboders of
evil, whom God hath mentioned in His Book and Tablets and against whose
influence, clamour and deception He hath warned His people. Well is it with
those who, in the face of the remembrance of the Lord of Eternity, regard the
peoples of the world as utter nothingness, as a thing forgotten, and hold fast
to the firm handle of God in such wise that neither doubts nor insinuations,
nor swords, nor cannon could hold them back or deprive them of His presence.
Blessed are the steadfast; blessed are they that stand firm in His Faith.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
